Talk to the manufacturer.

Johnn'os

Or pull out the pins and measure it.

Iv sent them an email and as this is my first camper, to remove the pins do I jack the actual trailer up not the leafs? then undo the nut and the leafs will come away from the frame?

Generally right, but if I was you I'd take it to a mechanic or suspension shop and let them do it.

Imho, I would do the bushes yourself, as well as the the wheel bearings. This knowledge will be invaluable down the track.

I'm thinking the batteries are not "wired up wrong" at all..

The 'in series' connection that you have described suggests to me that the batteries are in fact 6Volt (x2), connected in series to supply 12Volts (nominal).. A not uncommon practice, I believe...
