Has anyone run into the issue of not being able to place the (anderson) leveller behind the rear wheel ? Not enough room between tire edge and rear auto jack. Yes I've used the levellers and pulled the trailer onto them BUT that's puts too much pressure on the 5th wheel pin and I can't release the 5th wheel lock

I do not use them, but my father in law does. Once you pull onto them don't you need to chock the back of the leveler so you can release the pressure on the pin? That should solve the issue I would think?Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.

I had a hydraulic leveling system on my last camper and an electric one on my current Reflection and let the jacks and sensors do the leveling.

Definitely block your wheels up. For one thing the rig will be much more stable inside, but the frame is meant to be supported by the axles, you want the wheels on the ground for sure regardless of hydraulic or electric. I've used boards or blocks and my in laws use Andersen, any are fine, but you need the wheels on the ground for sure. I've seen some bad things happen when the wheels are up in the air on uneven sites.Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.

I use these on our 2021 Reflection. They're a little shorter than others: https://a.co/d/by12A3U
Good luck. Chip
