TRAILER SUPPORT APPARATUS WITH ENHANCED STABILITY
Have you ever been inside your travel trailer when a storms comes thru or during those incredibly windy days? Let me tell you, I have, and it almost feels as if you’re white water rafting. Now that you have that image in your head I can explain to you what I have come up with. I have created a Trailer Support Apparatus with Enhanced Stability or TSAWES(pronounced saws). Yes, I know you may be thinking that there are things already out there that are designed to help with this issue, however this is how mine differs from others. Ordinary jacks that come with any trailer, whether it be manual, electric or hydraulic just don’t stabilize your camper. TSAWES extends the jacks about a foot wider that the width of the trailer, therefore avoiding any “high center of gravity” issues. High center of gravity is when there is more length to an object than there is width, thus creating an unstable area. Take some time and observe your trailer. How high is it? Now look at the width of where the jacks are placed under it. My design extends the jacks about a foot wider on each side than the width of the trailer relieving the extra weight on top and reducing the chances of the trailer tipping over significantly. 62/138,228 (patent pending)
Interesting idea. I assume they are welded to the frame and that they retract somehow for travel.
