We have the Lippert electric stabilizer jacks with the single motor that came as an option on our TT.
Just not impressed with the strength of the Lippert jack. I am really surprised how much the stab. jack flexes and moves around when someone walks into the trailer. The horizontal piece that runs between the I-beams flexes and the angled arms that attach to the legs bend/move quite a bit at the through bolt. I was going to take a video of it and post on Youtube but never got around to it. The basic scissor jacks are superior at minimizing bounce inside the trailer. It bothers me that for the $500+ that we spent on the Lippert jacks, the trailer moves around and bounces so much.
I could reinforce the Lippert jacks, but that's a lot of work. I'm currently thinking of getting Ultra-Fab Eliminator stabilizers (for the stabilizers). Ultra-Fab Elminator
I have not been able to find any information on the internet about how well the Ultra-Fab jack works. But the more I look at pics of the Ultra-Fab, I don't see how it could be much better than the Lippert one and I'm not buying Ultra-Fab's claim that it completely eliminates movement.
Agree the Ultra-Fab and Lippert auto-jacks look very similar and probably behave alike. Not sure why our experience is different from yours, but I've been happy with our Lipperts on the Timber Ridge.
Are you sure that the "Eliminator" can be fitted to either one of those? I've heard they work well with regular scissors jacks.
