Stabilizer Recommendation for Small Camper Trailer

Question

Question:

Im working on a very small DIY camper, 5x8 bed and 1800 GVW. Im looking for mountable jacks with no preference for the style, other than bolt on. I was having trouble finding any mountable light duty jacks or stabilizers. Are these the only ones you have? Any other candidates to consider?

Scissor jacks like the part # TJSCHD-24-4 are a great option for stabilizers on a smaller trailer like you have. These mount on the trailer permanently wherease a set of stabilizers like the Ultra-Fab Stackable Stabilizers # UF48-979003 are a great option too but these would require you to store them when not in use. I attached a picture of them in use as well.
