    I notice that my door frame flexes pretty good when I level it with the corner jacks.
    Um, they are not there to level it. One uses dunnage under the tires and the front jack to level it then the corner jacks are put down to stabilize it. At least that is how I was taught.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Yeah, I learned that the first summer I had it; probably a bad example of illustrating how much flex there is in the frame. The terrain I camp in is pretty rugged sometimes and it doesn't always go as planned regardless of the lumber I keep in my truck. I had to use a high lift jack once and build a rock platform under the wheel. I finally got it stable, but it was still flexing some.
