Leveler Legs Damaged

Recent camp site we stayed at had very few sites avail, an none were at all level..ours was domed shape from side to side like an upside down U...
didn't catch the auto level sequence in time before the rear legs lifted the 5th wheel wheels off the ground and I could see the legs slanting outward - one foot pad bent... had no Andersen levelers with us - argh, as they were hard to find before then...at our next camp site, better level side to side, but still slanted front to back...we were able to find some Andersen levelers in the local area of this camp and they helped greatly....however the rear levelers still try to pick up the rear end of the trailer - we were able to chock better with the Andersen levelers... was able to get under the trailer at this site and take pictures...was able to pull the small bulge out of the frame mount by adding two more bolts to each mount...did that to both the rear and mid legs and will add to front legs tomorrow...appears the leg mounts are mounted at an angle thus casing the legs to push outwards instead of straight down...have not noticed this before the last site...others we have visited before now, were all level sites, thus the levelers didn't really have to work hard...will consult Lippert and Jayco on if this is proper installation of the frame mount.

Could that angle be for stabilizing the rv?

My 2017 Eagle 293RKDS came from the factory with the leveling jacks at an angle. Don't know if as much as yours.

I thought maybe they would stroke straight down as they are levelers but will ask Lippert just in case.

The legs angle out by design. I’ve bent a foot pad before. You can order the replacement direct from
Lippert.
