Is this uncommon?

Tweety's has a good selection. The scissors style as some good advantages. You can use cordless drill to run them up and down.
Tweety's

My 1990 Gulfstream came without stabilzers. I went to a junkyard and bought 4 scissor jacks for 20 bucks. Drilled some holes, added some bolts, said the magic words, and suddenly I had four very serviceable stabilizers for about 25.00 total.
But don't tell anyone...

thanks everyone for the replies....it's a 1997 fleetwood mallard...was just curious if I was missing something...I guess tho if they aren't there then they aren't there lol....i liked the ones in the link that was supplied but I will keep my eye out for some

So, you have a couple of options. You can take your unit to an authorized dealer with a service department and have them weld on stabalizers. Or use jacks but I think that would become a hassle. The service department may not charge you for the welding if you buy the stabalizers from them.

We have some trailrunners at our lot that dont have stabalizers on them and are brand new. It is done that way to cut down on some of the cost for the customer on the front end, but later they run into the same problem and end up needing stabalizers. If you purchased new, speak to the dealer and see if they wont add them for you. If your unit is older, go with my initial suggestions.
Good Luck

You do not need to weld them. You can use self-taping bolts/screws. Most of the scissor jacks on TT's today are fastened with self-taping bolts and some may be spot welded and bolted. You can easily install them with self-tapping fasteners.

That is a little unusual but would depend on the trailer. What year, make and model TT is it? As others have said the scissor jacks are readily available. Welcome to the forum.

Unless it's like a tear drop (but then you would not be walking around in it) that has not had some sort of stabilizer system (legs or jacks).

Older trailers did not have them.Go to any rv dealer you can get them or go online ebay ,tweetys ,camping world ,adventure rv.There are several styles and types the most common are scissor jacks
