I have them on a small cargo trailer I pull behind my older GoldWing. On my little cargo trailer they're just for stabilization but I'd think on the tent trailer you can lift the trailer a bit to get it level. There is no jack near the coupler. The Amazon ad says they can support 650# each.

EDIT: I see those jacks come with a small bar that you can use to extend the leg like on a farm jack.

Things you see in an RV Park

This must be the year of the ridiculously RV sightings for me. Or maybe just because we have been camping so much. Just got back from Goshen on Saturday and we are out again for five days. Tonight’s walk found the second Newell of the year and a fore travel. Click image for larger version

I think the option should be there. It's typically polite to not flush if there are people waiting. I don't usually flush but if I was and there was a guy behind me, I would at the very least go to him and ask if he minds if I take an extra few minutes to flush.

Of course, there 's a lot of people that don't have courtesy in their vocabulary.

I do the same except I usually throw in a bag of ice to let it slosh around. Ice works great and when it melts, it's just more water.

FR made 2 of these, a 19 footer and a 23 footer. Hydraulic lift system. Don't think they make them anymore. Saw one at a dealer in Wisconsin Rapids, WI that sat there for a very long time.

You can flush Every time but if you use enough water it isn't necessary. When,I want a really good clean out, I use the sewer flush out at home or at a full hook up site.

We saw this exact type of camper at the campground this weekend. It was pulled by a Goldwing. An amazing amount of space once it was set up.

We use plenty of water, I'm still gonna flush my way at the dump station and I do not have the option of doing it at home. Can't always get a full hookup site.
