Power Stabilizer Question

Just purchased a Rockwood Windjammer and have found myself second guessing the power stabilizers that came OEM. It is just that, they only stabilize, they do not in any way level the trailer and it seems that once set up the drivers side/left side leans when the slides are out. I set the trailer up with the slides in, which is pretty darn close to level, but after a day or so notice a slight lean to the left. Seems that these thing "creep" a little. I was toying with adding a 30" screw jack in the middle of the rail to aid in leveling the trailer. any thoughts?

Yes stabilizers are just that. Stabilizers
Few days ago someone mentioned putting there camper off level of the slide side by an 1" then when it settled it would be level again.
Just a suggestion.

Yeah...thought of that...just seems to be on the " heavier" side of the camper. Maybe a savajack mount on that side...

Just don't put it under your slide.
