Last month we bought a use 98 Rockford Camper. We only took it out once and had problems. First of all. We bought it from a dealer…..They had it open when we went to pick it up….and showed us how to close it….But didn't show us how to open it. So when we got it home we opened it and it seems fine. We filled it and closed it and took it for our first trip. At the camp ground we had trouble….We got it up, but the door would not close…It scraped the top…We nocticed it was not up straight…We were on a flat site. My husband propped it up and the door did close. But we had a hard time, opening the door and it would not latch…It seems the lift is messed up, broke or something. Does any one know anything about how to repair these campers?
A pop up floor needs to be leveled with a carpenter's level, both front to back and side to side, before you raise the roof. It should still be level after you engage the rear support jacks. Level with the tongue jack, and possibly thin planks under one wheel. The rear supports are not meant for leveling. Trying to do that might twist, and even "spring" the frame.
Some units have levels mounted on the outside, but it's best to check the floor too.

You're going to have a hard time proving the dealer ripped you off. I think he did.
