Do Slide Out Jacks Help on RVs with Slide Outs  

Question:

Confusing info about whether or not to use slide out jacks on my 2016 wilderness 2750rl with a super slider. Your thoughts please.

Helpful Expert Reply:

While some manufacturers will say that a slide out jack isn't needed we've found that they do make a noticeable improvement to overall stability when parked which means a more solid feel when walking around in the RV and also less chance of getting woken up at night due to movement.

We have a few sizes that you'll have to measure your RV to determine which would work best. We have the part # UF19-960002 which is 21 inch to 37 inch, part # UF19-960001 which is 16 to 28 inch, and we have # UF19-960003 which is rated for 26 to 47 inch.
