3rd electric stabilizer jack?
Has anyone installed a 3rd elec. stab. jack just in front of the wheels to minimize frame flex while camping? There doesn't appear to be any physical reason why you can't, at least on our trailer. W...

I don't know much about these. The ones on our trailer are Lippert with one motor on the side. They seem to work well. What is the benefit with two motor ones?
There is one on ebay right now that has the angle bracing going right down to the landing pads. That seems nice because it should make for more stability? Have not seen one like it yet in ding a little googling.
Yes, these are reallly slow. Too bad they don't have a pressure sensor to make it automatic.
Still wishing there was a trailer that had one button to push and it would automatically set up everything while you go have a cool drink and just watch.... :D
Those are the ones that came on my TT. They are really slick. Not self leveling as some call them as they don't level the TT. What they do is keep equal pressure on both legs. This is a big deal as with the independent ones it is easy to rack the frame. That causes doors to stick and can even damage the TT.
But for a middle install I prefer the independent jacks. I lower them first, and since they are in the center of the frame they can be used to make small leveling adjustments. Once level, then run the other jacks down.
Ditto, I have a 35 ft TT and added a set in front of the wheels and it made a world of difference. Manual is the way to go, like said above you can adjust side to side, you can't do that with the electric ones.
