Any thoughts on the orientation installation of leveling jacks?

Bought a complete set-up off Flea-Bay, and wondering if there is any reason to mount so they swing out, in, front, or back. I’m thinking
it doesn’t really matter, just what clears better and counter acts the front to rear or side to side. Also wondering if these should come down at a slight angle?

These should be interesting on my 22 footer.

can you supply a link to the auction win?

Generally speaking, you want to mount the front jacks just behind the rear of the front spring hanger on a gasser.

The rear I really don't think matter. But I would probably be about a foot behind the rear of the rear spring hanger perch.

Most of this has to do with clearances of other things around it. If you supply a link, I'll see if I have any documentation on that style jack.

First, take a look under your coach. Mine had pads for levellers already installed and predrilled.
