Hi. The tyres should remain on the ground. My understanding is the corner steadies should be used for steadying only and not take the weight.

We never get our awning totally taught. Our first time it concerned us a lot but after a few trips we realised it didn;t seem to matter.

I'm not sure about no 3!

the trailer should still be on it's wheels,what i do is useing the jockey wheel lower the the front(jockey wheel end)so it is a bit lower than the front,then drop the rear steddies.now you can wind the jockey wheel out to level the trailer then drop the rear steadies.doing this takes a bit of the bounce out of the trailer.

you could use one of these to tighten the frame/canvas

there are normaly little buttons you push in and then slide the pole out to a new hole.
