My daughter just purchased the same RV and she was apprehensive about mounting the scissor jacks to the frame. Your video calmed her concerns. Thank you for the video. We need more videos like this.
I know what you say about drilling a pilot hole. The self tapping screws tend to dance around, especially when drilling in an awkward position. Drilling a pilot hole is a great solution. I solved the issue by putting the jack in place and raising it so it is actually where I wanted it and then using the mounting holes as a position guide. But having said that, I used the drill bit that came with my jacks, because the screws they provided were NOT self tapping. Your videos are always so good. I am so jealous.
Is there a reason you turned the jack sideways to mount on a cross beam? Why not mount on the metal parallel to outside? That is the way the back 2 are done.

I installed the same kinda bits but from driving alot they got loose so I used a bolt and lock nut
Would this installation void the warranty?
I don’t think so, but it would be best to check with Coleman before.
Did it make a big difference …… I have the same camper with little jacks up front ….
Absolutely, much steadier when walking around.
Last question how far back did you install them …… was thinking on putting them right under where the storage door is …..
I did them about the same distance as the rear @@robacey6933 I did them about the same distance as the rear ones.
What's that tool u used at the end of the drill????
Drill Bit and Hex Bit.
Also just a standard Socket. with an adapter for the drill.
shoudve used a Driver not a drill
