All depends what the other side looked like. Then you could make a more informed judgement call. The use of a wheel chock is beneficial. I'm assuming that they "tippy toed" all weekend.


Other side is on Terra-firma. That's about how my site looks as well. Im on the next row over. But I always bring more than enough lumber. 20 years of a PUP this will be my first with the new TT.

That obviously isn't a D rated China bomb. I did something similar last weekend to adjust my brakes and thought the tire was going to blow from the stress. Good photo though. Lol

I've done this before and didn't have a problem. Looks pretty well engineered to me.
