I agree about the video. It is intended for seasonal campers. For anyone else it's absurd. No one (I hope) is going to carry 30 or so cinder blocks around with them. Not to mention numerous 2x2 ft plywood and styrofoam sheets.
The OP appears to go on numerous shorter trips each year. They may be candidates for the more expensive installed systems (assuming they work). Some things are just worth paying for.

Wow really all??? The vid was to show the points to set the jacks is all. I use those jacks I show from walmart. My trailer is low. I put wood or pad under jacks..

Very easy if you read a stop criticizing what it is..

1.Lower tongue all the way down..
2. put jacks near rear axle as shown. When I put them there I make sure jack is on my 8x8 block and jack touching frame.
3. Jack tongue up. Trailer back end will be supported buy jacks. Raise tongue up past level on front. A lot of the rear of trailer will be on rear jacks. Remember to keep near the rear axle. Dont put way out in rear of TT.
5. Now doe the same for front. Lower tongue onto front jacks and just take a bit off the shoe.. I put front jacks near front of TT as I only have a 24 ft...


As I said for longer trailers use two in middle. The vid was only to show procedure not that you need cinderblocks... Duh... really?

Use the jack with an 8x8 piece of wood or those levelers... The little part at the top of jack goes right to frame..


Geez Ill take pics next time in a few weeks cause there aint no good info regarding this...

Ill tell you no bounce, wiggle, play, sway at all. period..

Yes its like chocking a seasonal but doing it quickly....

It is absolutely amazing the off the wall comments that video you posted have generated and just shows how little folks take the time to understand what is trying to be conveyed. I had no problem at all understanding what the video you linked to was for ... it was about the process and location of the supports and NOT WHAT THE SUPPORTS ARE.
