Tipping the trailer

[Karampd]

I'm curious if anybody knows how much weight It takes to tip backwards an x213 when the slide is out without jack stands. I know the weight rating but I assume it will take much less than that to lift the front end of the trailer up.

How much weight is on the tongue jack? That's it!

EDIT: Almost forgot... Welcome to the forum.

Interesting quesrion, it can be figured out, it's just a basic relationship regarding lever arm.

Tongue weight times distance to the pivot point (aka between axles) = distance times Wieght, where weight on the slideout is unknown.

For example; with made up numbers.
Tongue weight =600 lbs
Distance to tongue= 10 feet
Weight of load at slide out = ?
Distance to center (???) of slideout = 11 feet

Weight of slideout load to overcome tongue weight = 600 x 10 / 11 = 545 lbs.

This number would be with the stabilizers up. With them down, the lever arm would be measured close to the rear stabilizers.

THIS is exactly why I love this group! There is always someone way smarter than me!!! Thank you sir - If our paths ever cross I will by the first round....

This question is what rainy days are for and this one would send me right outside.
