Best 2020 Forest River Salem Travel Trailer Camper Jacks

My Jack arrived DOA. After installing it on my trailer, the Jack didn’t work. The manual crank handle came in handy because I didn’t have time to troubleshoot and repair it at the time. It was just a wire that was no longer connected to the switch but I have to tell you it was extremely disappointing to receive a brand new item that didn’t work. If it had worked out of the box, I’d give it a five star review. You should consider soldering and heat shrinking the wires to the switches or making the wires longer so they aren’t banjo string tight and putting the lug at a strange angle.

Great product and Trailer has great customer service. It's to bad that the shipping companies do not take better care with the items during shipping! will receive replacement parts to fix what was broken, but it causes lots of extra work for the customer. will have to take complete jack off to replace the broken motor cover because of shipping carelessness!! regards, Dan Ewert

Very nice leveling system. Had a damaged tongue jack that etrailer in only one day had a replacement shipped. Excellent customer service is much appreciated. Thank you.

I love these jacks I would recommend to anyone who has the time and know how to install these. I installed these on a Minnie plus 31BHDS 35.5 foot travel trailer. It’s hasn’t let me down yet leveling the trailer every time. Even so much that it will lift the tires off the ground on one side to achieve it. Even with the wheels off the ground all doors and cabenits work perfect. The install was tough for one person took me three full days. The way my camper was set up I couldn’t follow there instructions exactly on the placent distances of the jacks but I was within a foot and it works. It has a touch screen for in the camper which after initial set up I haven’t needed to use it. The other control i installed on the exterior front driver side and that’s the one I use every time. It’s so easy now I press 1 button and its level every time. This really makes setting up much faster and less stress I don’t have to yell back and forth with my wife which she hates finding level. Great product so far.

The screw on one Jack is damaged and is in unusable. Would like a replacement. Photo attached.

Definitely a heavier duty version of our campers stock stabilizers. They bolted right up to the brackets and glad we have new stabilizers. I hope the paint lasts on these as that seems to be an issue with the other, cheaper stabilizers. Time will tell.

Hello, Please see pics below of broken weld on jack. The jack was just installed and in use for about 7 days and noted the broken weld. Jack functions as described, however, we question the durability of the jack.

Definitely has the power I need however I can't open my tailgate when my camper is hooked up. 5 stars for power.

Web site easy to use. Trailer jack came in quick. I like not having to wonder if my online order is going to ship or get delivered. Every time i order from this company i get an email they received my order. I get an email that it shipped. I get an email that it was Delivered. Now days its common to place an online order and you take a chance of not knowing if you going to get anything. I recommend this company.

Item arrived a day earlier & in good condition! & was a very easy install ,& is a upgrade from manual one that broke at the handle ,& this is a upgrade for my 2008 22'Airstream Safari! Can't wait for my next outing, Also I like that it comes with a backup manual hand crank in case you need it,& that it was a exact fit for my travel trailer,It's a complete package that needs nothing else.

We had so much trouble with the heavy slide out on our travel trailer going out of adjustment .. The trailer spent more time the first two years in the dealership shop or another rv shop than we had it at home.. When we finally got it repaired for the last time my wife checked the internet and found these slide out supports.. We use these everytime we open the slide out at home or camping in the forest or rv park .. And we havent had anymore trouble .. Wish we found these two years earlier .. Thank You fir a great product ..

So love the product and easy to use/install. This length worked great for my slide out. Installed them today and seem to steady up the slide out. Only issue I found was that when I opened the package, one of the u-shaped brackets was bent. But nothing that a little hammering couldn’t fix. Maybe improve the ends of the packaging to better support the u-shaped parts would be my suggestion.

There's not a lot to say. The first Stabilizer carton was damaged to the point the carrier couldn't even find the Stabilizer. etrailer.com was very cooperative & sent a second unit out right away. Although the second shipment packaging was damaged all parts were there and undamaged. I installed the unit and it is so so much better, quieter and faster than the old unit. I highly recommend both Lippert and etrailer.com

The shipping of this part was terrible at best! They packaged the stabilizer in a cheap cardboard box and of course it arrived trashed! And of course it arrived almost a week later than they said it would. The rubber cover for the motor is torn, the main metal beam is dented. This is absolute crap on your part etrailer.

Great product. works just fine. The problem I had was matching the mounting plate under my trailer. Apparently not a standard so I had to take it to a trailer manufacturer to make it fit.

They went on a custom made trailer build that’s not yet in service. Seem to function as advertised.

Ordered a power stabilizer jack for my 2012 Jayco fifth wheel in 2023 , easy to install the item myself , stabilizer working great , will buy future items at this site , thanks

The stabilizer works well. I would buy it again

One of the best additions to our 5th wheel yet! I added these myself and it was not too hard, but I do have the proper tools. One install issue was around the pushout where I had to modify a bracket(see photos) We did a coast to coast and stayed in a LOT of places. These jacks worked very well as long as I got reasonably level side to side first. A few inches out is fine so most spots were a breeze, a few I needed to be on blocks so the tires did not come off the ground. The phone app is great to see initial level from the drivers seat, but I did most final leveling from the control pad. Overall great product and I recommend them especially if you are setting and breaking camp a lot.

The system is not what was advertised, it's better, at least for me. Everything arrived on a pallet in excellent condition, except for the advertised remote. I contacted etrailer and they put a replacement on order which I received a few days later. In the meantime, I tried to place the controller in the mode to sync the remote and see if the remote I had with my RV would sync, but I could not get the controller in that mode to accept a remote. Upon reading the controller label, I noticed it said BT and had a passcode on the side of it, so I downloaded the app and it connected to my phone. It seems the LCI Linc remote is obsolete for my Ground Control 3.0 and it is now using the phone app. Everything seems to work as expected; I'm excited to try everything out this weekend on our first outing. I was able to push a fiberglass push stick from the front basement to where the rear jacks are located without dropping the underbelly and pull all the required cables to the rear of the camper and utilize existing frame holes to bring the connectors out to the rear jacks. I think this will be a nice upgrade to our fifth wheel after our factory landing gear failed.

Do not like the new design. Much slower than the old version and the buttons stick out too far and now I cannot lower my tailgate while the trailer is attached.

This was a direct replacement for my trailer. Simple to install and connect wiring. I did rotate the head of my unit 90 degrees so the front of the jack faces the driver side of the trailer/tow vehicle. This now allows my tailgate to drop fully without interference. Unit arrived on time and in excellent condition. Has functioned properly for several trips in the past year without any issues. My original unit lasted 6 years without any problems until water/moisture got inside the gearbox and contaminated the lubricant causing damage to gears and bushings. I now cover the jack when in storage. Excellent service from etrailer.

I should have got one years ago. I only use it when it's connected to the truck with the engine running. This I believe gives me full power. It has enough power to raise the trailer when connected to the truck to get the anti sway bars attached. Sure beats all that hand cranking.

The alternate power setup makes its slow rate of rise necessary which would be good if my lithium batteries went low. To avoid battery problems be sure to add an inline battery disconnect from the trailer power when using tow vehicle power. I simple added an inline fuse that could be removed should I need to use the tow vehicle power.

Before I purchased the Strong Arm my travel trailer would shake considerably when someone would move around the trailer. Since installing the Strong Arm system (which was quite easy to do) movement about the trailer is no longer an irritating issue.

Strongman’s were pretty straight forward to install. Packaging did not come with T handles so I called the great folks at etrailer and new handles were shipped out no questions asked and arrived in 3 days.

The jack works great. I didn’t have any problems with the installation. My only issue is that the holes are 90° off for my Fastway jack foot which goes up automatically. I’m debating whether to leave the jack 90° off or drill new holes in the jack.

This is awesome and so easy to install. Took longer to open the box then to set it up. We had ordered something similar to this for our old camper. It took us hours to get it to fit right. This was extremely easy to install. My husband loves the memory feature on this thing.

Great price and service, They shipped one half of jack system and after phone and picture of part I received, they found second have and shipped out the next day. Installed easy, but had to call manufacture to figure out the wiring, manufacture was very helpful also. It been on for a year with lots of use.

Finally got around to installing my PT II Stabilizers 30" front and rear of our 26' Surveyor. Pre - assembled them to make sure they went together ok. Luckily I had two sources for power front & rear which made wiring easy, I used a Buss block to make all positive connections, grounds straight to frame, soldered all connections and heat srinked to seal. Using the 3/8" self tappers was fun.Well got it all together and all works well makes trailer very stable, don't have to worry about scissor jacks collapsing anymore.

The product works as designed. Easy to install and I have used it approximately 20 times in the last year. The storage for the 7 pin connector and safety chains are a great option. Keeps things nice and tidy when unhooked. I highly recommend this Jack.

Perfect fit and operates very quietly and with abundant power for my 27 foot Lance travel trailer. The Jack-It Lippert bike rack mount fits perfectly over it, and the manual emergency jack crank fits within the tube of the Jack-it if the need arises. Also, the handy ring for stowing the trailer chains and receptacle for stowing the 7-way connector is a nice feature. Very happy with my purchase, and etrailer is fantastic, as usual!

The Strong Arm stabilizers have worked great. After locking the stabilizers, the majority of trailer movement from walking around in the trailer has been eliminated. I highly recommend.

These are great and made our small 5th wheel rock solid, I mean night and day compared to just landing gear and rear stabilizers. I did have to do some minor fabrication for both the front and the rear. The front was due to the spare tire being mounted under the front of our rig. Also the instructions really suck as do most Lippert components instructions. Way too many words that don't really seem to be coherent, seems like just a few words and some good quality pictures would be more helpful.

I upgraded my '98 sportsmen from tripod stands to these scissor jacks.Setting up is so much easier now. The jacks are very sturdy, fairly priced and were easy to install.

These are great replacement jacks

Easy installation to replace the manual trailer crank. This model is powerful and works well. It has the ability to be rotated 90 degrees so its sideways. The advantage being is that my GMC 2500 AT4 truck tailgate can be lowered with the trailer connected using it in the sideways mounting position.

This jack was a direct replacement for another Bulldog jack that was damaged in an accident. The old jack was still working great after ten years of seasonal use before being damaged. The new jack installed very easily with simple hand tools and has been operating flawlessly. I would definitely purchase this jack again.

I like the jacks,I didn't weld what was told,I drilled holes in the mounting bracket counter sunk for bolts, I drilled and taped holes to screw mounting bracket to frame, then I used brass angle iron to bolt to mounting bracket and trailer frame to make sure all was secure, bolted everything on to frame using stainless steel bolts and the brackets are brass,so noting rust. I fell much more confident on the way I mounted the jacks ratter then welding and have no distortion or messing up the trailer frame. Very happy on how I did it and it works great.

The box was a little beat up but, after all they are heavy steel parts and they are trying to keep the weight down for shipping coasts. The stabilizers were in great shape. I liked that the mounting brackets are removable and made it convenient to weld in place. The brackets could be bolted on but, you would have to countersink the bolts as there is about 1/8" clearance between the bracket and stabilizer body. I'm very happy with them and would recommend them. I would like to have etrailer show all the dimensions and capacities.
