Stabilizer Jack Legs for Fold Down Deck on Motorhome

Question:

Hi there, Im trying to work out making a fold down deck for the back of my self-build motorhome. Im looking for folding legs for the deck that would fold up against the body of my rig when packed away, but fold down to support the deck when its lowered. The deck will be about 8 feet wide by about 5 feet deep and will weigh about 100lbs. Do you have anything that might work for this? I see you have trailer jacks but they look like theyre designed to be stored away separately when not in use which I guess is also an option for me - but I was wondering if any of them can be bolted to something like this with a hinge for extra stability? Thanks!

I have a product that could be perfect for your needs if the deck height is 15-1/4 to 22-1/4 inches. The Stallion
# 288-01892-2 stabilizer jacks are height adjustable from 15-1/4 to 22-1/4 inches, and would fold down when not in use. They're sold in a quantity of 2, and the pair would have a support capacity of 1000 lbs.

For a similar jack with less height, the # TJ01RT-HD also would fold down when not in use and are height adjustable from 11-1/2 to 18 inches. These jacks have an identical capacity as the pair mentioned above.

I've linked to product videos for bolt products mentioned above.
