Having Power Stabilizers Added
Now that our 5th wheel has been totaled the wife and I are out shopping for a new rig. We are planning on taking a step back and getting a nice TT which fits our needs. We've found on we like, ho...

Thanks for your input. When we had TTs prior to getting into 5th wheels they all had electric stabilizer jacks. It was just what i had come to expect. I was a bit shocked when this one didnt come with them. Perhaps its actually for the better afterall.
Not really. Though they like all stabilizers have shortcomings. Having had both, I much prefer the Lippert power ones.
They have one very important advantage over the manual ones.
They maintain equal pressure on the legs at all times.
This means that racking of the frame is impossible!
No more sticking doors.... EVER!
With today's lightweight frames, this is more important than ever.
Yes they go down slower than using a power drill/manuals. but since the button lowers two legs at once, it is pretty much a wash speed wise... And not racking the frame is a HUGE deal.
Doing this after the fact though is an expensive proposition. Likely over a thousand dollars. It is much cheaper to get them already installed on a new unit.
Still, I will not ever own a TT with manual stabilizers again.
