Leaning toward awning side
I have a 2012 Jayco Jay Flight 25 BHS.
Recently I noticed it leaning toward the awning side. And there is about a 1/4” between the fender skirt and the tire. I took the trailer to a local trailer company, and they said there is nothing wrong with the suspension, frame or anything and said I must have never noticed it. All tanks are empty and is not loaded. Does anyone have any ideas or seen anything like this?

Since your rig is probably heavier on one side, it almost appears that you have a "stressed" or broken spring.

We have 3 slides, one small on one side, a very small and a very large on the other side. Our rig leans a small bit to the large slide side when all of them are out. We just level it w/ a 1" thick board underneath the wheels if needed. Sometimes the site does not require it as it is sloped a bit to cover it

I can not figure out how to post pictures. But the fender skirt is now touching the tire.

Yea, I'd get under the rig and take a look, or have somebody knowledgeable about RV suspensions take a look.

Unless you have a water leak on that side where the entire wall is sopping wet, I would think you have a broken spring. The 25BHS has the large slideout on the other side so I would expect it to be heavier over there.
The fridge isn't full of lead or gold is it?

something isn't right...
you may just jack it up and take off the tires and take a couple of pics or get under it and take a couple... my guess is a spring or the bolts or a structural problem bent axle....

I checked the springs.
All 4 springs measured at 26”. So I have no clue what’s going on. Taking it to a trailer dealer later this week. Fingers crossed.

If anything it should lean to the other side where the heavy slide is located. Does extending the slide even out the trailer any? In any case something is clearly wrong with the suspension on the side with the lean.
