Will the Landing Gear Set RVLG-8000 Work On An Ice Castle Fish House

Question:

I was thinking about getting these for my ice castle down fish house the entire trailer weight is 5k lbs and would only be lifting the back. Would this be strong enough to lift that much weight ? I know it says capacity 8k but it also says to not use during tire changes. Thank yiu

The Landing Gear Set part # RVLG-8000 would be an excellent option for an Ice Castle Fish House. The listed weight capacity of 8,000 lbs would far exceed the portion of your trailer that needs to be lifted. In regards to the statement about not using the landing gear to change a tire or do service work, this really only pertains to larger camper trailers upwards of 15,000 lbs. For example, if you were to lift a trailer this size in the air off the wheels and tires, the weight would be spread out to each of the four lift points which would exceed that of the landing gear legs for larger trailers. In normal use, the landing gear would have several thousand pounds placed on them at any given time via the pin weight without issue so you will be just fine.
