Today I got all the new supports in place and functioning.  The trailer is now sitting on them.  The tongue jack is in the air by about a quarter inch:

By about an eighth of an inch. It looks like this:DSCF0584
Yes, I know there’s a larger overhang in the back.  But there’s minimal weight there, and that part is angled up. I don’t see a need to add a support behind the rear door. I’ll let it sit overnight, then check whether those temporary supports are touching.  I wouldn’t be astonished if it settles by up to a quarter inch, but it should be no more than that.  Assuming all is stable I can remove all the bolts that hold the body to the frame.  Then remove the wheels and let the frame down.

That’s all for today, but a big step.
