Just bought this unit in the spring. Just noticed the other day when washing walls trying to eliminate previous owner's wife over use of Stickup and Plug-in air freshners. She had 20 of them in a 40' unit with two tip outs. Found while cleaning around where the top and one end of the tip out and half the top (its like a lip) that is suppose to be tight against the interior wall was not extended out all the way. At its worst its sticking 2 to 3" into the trailer yet. The tip out is completely level all the way around. Currently the tip out is being support by concrete blocks on each corner. Do you think if I remove the support blocks and get help pushing from the inside this will solve the problem or is something broken? I understand the tip outs are hinged so I don't know why it just would not of just tip out all the way. This unit was moved from another site in the same park a few years ago. So maybe this was the result of do-it-your-selfers. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Yes, remove the blocks and gravity will prevail. Then resupport the tip-out. I use screw jacks so I can periodically adjust them. Don't lift them, just barely support them.
The OP inadvertently started a new topic with this reply:

I did this with both sets of blocks that are under each corner of the tip out to get them vertical beause the frost had heaved them out of plumb. So I would of thought it would of tipped out all the way just by gravity at that time. But maybe it needs to be pushed out from the inside. I'm just being cautious and don't want to create a bigger problem.
