electric stabilizer jacks: just awesome

Hello,

I made a video of my electric stabilizer jacks to show how they operate from a remote. Pretty handy if you ask me.



Cheers,

JF

I knew someone would notice, but not as quickly. I remove the tongue jack, as my son broke it when he ran it while I wasn't there. Husky is sending me a free replacement today, it was super easy to get them to do so. I was glad to have had my stabilizer jacks since they can hold a lot more and they replace the tongue jack while it was broken.

That's cool, that would make setup and teardown so much easier.

I don't think the ones on our trailer will lift it. In fact I know they won't.

Cool Mod, but....

I was told to NEVER to use the jacks to lift the rig as they would twist the frame, was I told incorrect information?

if anything use them together (on same side of TT) but I think your correct and are or should be used just used for stability only.
