Is there a good way of leveling the travel trailer? It has the Sonic's LevelMate wireless leveling system but how much lift can be done on the 4 jacks?
Are the jacks only used for stabilizing or can it used for leveling too? How much stress can be applied to the frame?

General rule on TT's. The corner jacks are for stabilizing. Level the TT side to side with blocks/boards under tires. Front to back with tongue jack.

I wonder how these were working but oh boy they are expensive as I would need 4 of them.

Why 4? We only use 2 to level one side of the TT, one for each axle.

Leveling a camper is not difficult. Manufacturers keep adding stuff (Sonic's LevelMate wireless leveling system) to broaden their market. Millennials go for this, because they can use the phone that is always in their hands. They don't have to think about it, but let it not work and there is a crisis. If they can't level a camper, they sure do not have the skills to troubleshoot a failed leveling system.

blumoon1998, you are correct, you only need to level 1 side. Had a brain freeze.

Between the Anderson levelers and a good old fashioned 3 foot level, we are able to get ours leveled on the first shot. Now, the level mate system is just a fun perk 😀 |

blumoon1998 , you are correct, you only need to level 1 side. Had a brain freeze. No worries 😀. The Anderson levelers were really a game changer for us and well worth the $. |
