Lift 5th wheel with all 6 jacks?

[Peregordusmc]

Can you use all 6 jacks to lift the entire 5th wheel to the point the tires don't touch the ground? I bought one of those portable dump tanks and it sits higher than the discharge on the trailer.

My rig has been sitting with the tires off the ground since last fall.
So yes you can.

Peace

The internal holding tank sits higher than the discharge. Put a gate valve on your discharge. You can dump without any spill.
There is no need to raise the 5th wheel.
17 years into this and never had any problems dumping.
Semper Fi.

My tote will often be right around the same height as my sewer port. I have just gotten good at manipulating the sewer hose to drain as much out as possible before disconnecting. It takes some practice, but it’s manageable. Just make sure you leave enough room in the tote since the sewer hose holds more water than you’d think!

Here is what I found the best way.. cribbing if I relied on the 6 points the nose drops, to be safe.
