Getting a Trailer Level when Parked at Show

[Bopper]

I have a small LQ trailer that rides level when hooked up on level ground but inevitably the RV parking at shows is lower in the back so the trailer is not level when I am parked. I don’t like to unhook since I usually only stay one night at shows. If I park nose first it is more difficult to hook to the water and electricity and then I am not configured correctly with my travel buddies’ trailers.

I was thinking of putting ramps (like the ones used for changing flat tires) under one set of tires on each side of the trailer. Would that cause any issues to the trailer being parked for two days with all of the weight on just two (one on each side) tires?

Most people use boards.

I have boards that work for a few places with a slight drop off but one in particular that we go to 3 times a year is about 2-3" lower in the back.

I think they should be small enough to use one on each tire.

Go to a junk yard, and get a couple of the OEM “scissors jacks”. Use those under the trailer corners to set the level.

The next suggestion is the RV “lego blocks” that you can make into whatever shape you need, in your case a graduated ramp to the appropriate height. (I would check the weight limits on them…) https://www.campingworld.com/rv-leveling-blocks-10-pack-56865.html

We alway carried a few short boards when camping just for this reason.

I’m not sure if you’re talking about using car sized scissor jacks, but there is zero chance one that small would have enough “up” to lift my trailer without boards to help. And if you have the boards anyways, might as well just pull up on them.

Well, they come in different sizes, but yeah; an automotive “spare-tire” jack. This was what I used on our GN “living quarters” trailer (altho we used the “LQ” part as a tack/dressing room/lounge).
I never measured, but I would imagine the fully extended jacks I had were about 24 inches lift. Might have been for a pickup truck?
A bonus is that with the jack lifting the trailer by the frame, and especially if you set the front hitch jack down, it eliminates the queasy jitters from the suspension moving when somebody moves around inside. And you can get it as level as you feel like messin’ with; I used a bowl of water as a gauge. Certainly worth a look to see if you can find a pair that will work, IMO.
