Adding Sissor Jacks Permanently
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 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.
