One Side Getting Lower

city Bear · May 28, 2017

We are fulltimers who have been stuck in one location for awhile. Yesterday, I noticed that one side has dropped a little on the front corner, and I cannot get the supports I made for heavy snow loads back in place. Any suggestion on what if anything should be done?

Four strong people or a farm jack.

What Tree said works, but you probably need to shorten the cables on the low side a little bit. Do do it, you need to create slack in the cables so you can tighten the adjusting nuts on the bolts that are in front of the street side wheel in the wheel well. You MAY be able to do this of you lower the top so it rests on the outriggers.

Tighten them just enough so that you can insert the supports, if you shorten the cables too much, you risk damaging something.

Thank you for your reply. Make sense to me. Checked cables this morning to see, if they were ok. All checked fine. Appears that that cable has been shorten before. Will wait until I lower before I attempt to tighten cable, if there is any slack.
