Can you Add Scissor Jacks to a Camper to Stabilize It

Question:

Can I convert from power stabilizer jack, one front one back, to four manual scissor jacks? Want to gain better stabilization when walking around inside camper. My power ones are old anyway. Thanks

You can definitely use manual scissor jacks on your camper. These can either bolt on or be welded to the camper's frame. They will give you much more stability.

To find the right ones, you will need to know how much lift you need and your camper's GVWR.

For example, the jacks from etrailer, part # e99012, have a 24" lift and 5000-lb capacity per jack. I've linked to a video review of these jacks for you.

If you need help determining which are the right ones for you, then you can tell me which camper you have and I will help you find the right ones.
