You aren't trying to get the wheels off the ground are you the legs should only be down enough to stabilise the unit not level it if you wind the legs too far you will bend the chassis

Hi JF, and welcome to the forum. How far are you winding the legs down? If you go too far you could be lifting the camper .The legs or steadies are only meant to stop the camper rocking You should level the camper side to side using chocks or similar (on the wheels) ,level front to back using the jockey wheel, then when you think you are level drop the steadies just enough to stop it rocking and the door should open and shut
Hope this helps GCB
