Thanks, Chuckster57 - this is what I was trying to explain.

This is good information, thanks Chuckster.

I was recently over at a friends house and his father in law had “helped” by building a pergola in the back yard. As soon as I saw that thing I was like “dang that is one crooked pergola!” When I was alone out there I put my phone up to it too see how much it was out of plumb. It looked very crooked but it was only 1 degree off.

Having said all that, I think if the trailer was more that 3 degrees out of level, you would know it.

of course you can leave your trailer and truck connected.


if you come in late you may not even want to connect anything.


I usually, at least, put the front legs down to give my truck some relief--not sure if it helps anything though.
