Thanks everyone! I guess my only other questions are:
What is the best way to find and mark those pesky min and max travel limits?
Is there a way to tell that you're nearing or at a travel limit before blowing the fuse?
The extension limit was marked on our legs. It's a small arrow head. Came that way from the factory. You can make use of those bottle jacks if you want to confirm the marks are really there. That way you'll know what they look like if they're already marked, and if they aren't you can add them.

My only caution relates to extending/retracting the legs with chalks in place. The wheels will creep forward or backward when the legs move. So if you move the legs with the chalks in place there will be a binding load applied to the legs. It can make a scarey noise when the load comes off the legs as the weight settles on the hitch. That load is doing its best to bend the legs.
