Electric stabilizer jacks-fully extended or on blocks?

I have power stabilizer jacks on my trailer, just wondering if they should run all the way to the ground or be "built up" with wood blocks underneath to keep them less extended?

On my Crossroads I just plug an audio cable from the TV output to the "aux" input on the stereo.

I replaced the crappy speakers in my Zinger with Kenwood KFC-1695PS 3-way speakers from Amazon. About $57 CAN. Made a big difference when watching TV, as voices were really muddled on the factory...

Thanks

Thanks guys,

I should clarify that I do NOT use water in the winter. We are in Ontario, and it gets down below -20 at times, so not worth the aggravation. We only head up a handful of times per...

Love my new Zinger 25RB, but find it a real pain to have to climb on top of the bed to turn on the overhead light. Seems odd there is not a switch. Has anyone added one? What is...

Lots of good info here!
