My wife noticed that the rig "shakes" more now at our new destination then where we were parked before... and she's right.
The old location was quite level and very solid ground....the new location is pretty solid ground but on more of an incline from left to right...I'd guess about 10 degrees.
I figured that the reason the rig is "shakier" is that the jacks on the right leveled the rig leaving the jacks on the left supporting no weight at all leaving the wheels and suspension to hold the weight.
I have already used wooden planks under the wheels to get the rig as level as possible BEFORE using the jacks.
I'm surmising that, in addition to leveling the rig on it's wheels, I need to compensate about the same under the jacks. In other words, if I am using a 2x10 board on the right side wheels to get the rig more level..I need to place the same 2x10 under all the jacks so that all four jacks are used to level and hold the rig steady. I'd be tricking the jacks into believing the entire rig is reasonably level to begin with.
Am I correct or have I over thought this?
Thanks...
