Not only are those jacks more beefy I really like the way they look with that black powder coating. Thanks for sharing Shane and david keep them coming.
Having a light trailer, I've been leveling my tear drop this way for years. Great to see ROA facilitating this method for the heaver trailer of my future!
@shane - tried this on my mdc xt13 and guess what? The rears don’t fit into a complete upright, stow away position. They hit a frame bar. And the front door side stabilizer handle doesn’t clear the mud flap and frame - super tough to deploy and stow leg. Any ideas how to fix either of these? Otherwise note these legs don’t fit universally.
There is a huge difference between a DRILL and an IMPACT driver. A drill motor works much better than an impact, and many jack manufacturers specifically advise against using impact drivers.
They would be a custom job. The off road trailers use these types so they have the brackets designed on the frame that allow this upgrade. We have never seen a traditional travel trailer that had the brackets.
Could you possibly tell my how much ground clearance a trailer would need for these jacks to work when in lowest setting? I noticed maybe 3" of clearance when you folded it down on the Dweller. For example one sets up camp that is 4" out of level. One side would have tons of clearance but the other the jack might not be able to swing down if your trailer doesn't have that much ground clearance. I also have been told that one should still use blocks or rocks under the tires on the high side so your not stressing the chassis.
This is why the RV industry sucks. It seems so petty. Why they don't come with a weight bearing stabilizer is beyond me. It makes setup so much easier. The only thing that would make it better is a leveling bubble.
"...or other activities" Bahahaha 🤣 Amen brother!

love these on my ROAMER. They make life easier for sure during setup.

Could these go on a traditional travel trailer. Grand Design AIM 18BH specifically. These seem awesome!!
