Adding Sissor Jacks Permanently

[JLW+KLW]

I had a friend wield my jacks under my RV for stabilization. He first wielded a angle iron to the jacks, then wielded the whole thing to the body frame. The ones that came on my RV isn't worth a crap. So I added two in the front, two in the middle and two at the rear. Now I just pull up and use my drill and lower them down on my boards and now my RV is good to go.

That looks like a nice clean install. It looks like you left the electric stabilizer jacks in place too?

I hope you mean you are good to "stay", not "go"!

Nice solution by the way.

I added a set about 2' behind the rear axle. The electric ones are just not up to snuff to stabilize the camper. After I set the ones I installed, I raise the tongue jack some to add some load, then run the electric ones down. Seems to do the trick.

I fastened two to my back bumper. They help take the shake out when washer goes into spin cycle. On my 379 washer is in back corner

Thanks everyone. I did leave the original ones on. I can put them down if I want, but probably not since the jacks are there. The RV still wiggled when they were down. This is why I went with scissor jacks. I had them on my old Dutchman and it worked.

I wonder how scissor jacks would compare to LCI electric stabilizers with SteadyFast or JT Strong Arms. I really want to do something with my 2018 we have lots of movement and if I put any weight at all on the LCI jacks they make an odd ping noise. They seem to be a garbage product.

Interesting so the scissor jacks you installed you actually put them right behind the axles? How far up do you raise the tongue jack to add weight to them?
