Stabilizing jacks don't really stabilize much at all

If this has been discussed (I can't believe it hasn't), I was not able to find anything in a quick search for it. I recently bought a 2012 Forest River Flagstaff 27BHSS. It has electric stabilizer...

When I gave up camping for the convenience of a TT, I kept the manual tongue jack and stabilizers. They were the last vestige of exercise associated with the outdoor experience. :)


I gave up the manual jack two trailers ago.
When my TW hit 1200# on my last TT, and over 1400# on my present one. Couple that with summertime temps in Phoenix of 115 give or take, and a 1 ton dually crew cab to lift when hitching up... That kind of torture I don't need.
