Must be some strong stabilizers

[Mysanity]

Saw this travel trailer in my town the other day. Who says you can't use regular stabilizers as levelers??? Looks like it's been like that for quite awhile.

No - they stole the wheels... 🙂

If you put a straightedge along the TT (on the image), it appears that it is sagging in the middle. Reverse camber on a frame is not a good thing.

The problem with the trailer in the picture is that if a gust of wind comes up from behind, or hits the front just right, the trailer can move forward or backward, and tip over the jacks. They really do need the tires on this thing. Hopefully the owner was just out getting new rubber? and will put the tires back soon.

Anyway if I where living in it without tires, I would lower it to the ground, so I did not have such a tall step in height.

Looks like I see jack stands under the axles!

Nothing wrong with the actual "stabilizers" doing that.. Looks like the old BAL scissor jacks that are rated for #5000 EACH... 🙂

I've got 4 of them myself and they have no problem lifting the trailer by just cranking on the screw with the manual handle..

Now, I wouldn't want to leave it up in the air like that, without the trailer tires on it at all... That's a lot longer trailer than mine, and I wouldn't do that with mine for any longer than it takes to put some jack stands under the frame near the axles..

Another mystery would be if the door still opens. I'd bet that it doesn't.

We call them stabilizers but they are usually 5000 lb jacks. They will lift a trailer with ease, but the weak lightweight frames will take a beating. I'll bet that many folks take a considerable amount of weight off the wheels and place it on the corners. We often read posts where people give it another turn after tight.

Impressive! I'll bet the new stabilizers wouldn't hold up.
