When you’re parked and want a steady setup, these compact scissor jacks hold your trailer firm. Each jack supports up to 2,500 lbs and adjusts from 5" to 24", giving you plenty of range to level and stabilize. The bow-tie bases keep them steady even on soft ground, so you can step inside without the floor shifting under your feet.
Whether you like doing things by hand or prefer speed with a power tool, these jacks have you covered. The manual crank handle lets you raise or lower smoothly, and the included drill bit socket means you can run them with a standard drill when you want fast operation.
Outdoor use can be tough on gear, but these jacks are made to last. The black e-coated steel finish resists corrosion, and zinc-plated screws and hardware prevent rusting over time. A bearing set on the crank side helps extend the life of the mechanism for consistent use season after season.
You don’t need special brackets or fabrication work to get these mounted. The 6-hole top plates give flexible mounting options so you can line them up with existing holes or add new ones as needed. Once installed, they stay put and keep everything level during setup or storage.
Every set includes two jacks backed by a limited lifetime warranty. They’re dependable gear designed for years of use, ready whenever you need solid support under your trailer.

Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna talk about etrailer's stabilizing jacks. Now today this is gonna be the one that comes in a kit of two, but you can find different kits on our website. So let's check 'em out. If you've got any experience with these etrailer stabilizing jacks or if you plan to get these after watching this video, just let us know what that experience is like and what your camping adventures look like and how this is working for you overall. But really this is gonna be something great for anyone who is doing something of that outdoor camping and you just want something that's just gonna be a little bit easier to use than what comes standard with your RV.
Or in some cases you just need a replacement part because especially these ones that are sitting here in the back, if you're going over any release deep inclines, there's just some bumps in the road or going through some driveways. Sometimes if they're not lifted all the way up, maybe you forgot to do it or more so when there's more extreme situations, they can make contact with the ground and get damaged, and I think these are gonna be a great replacement set for you. So today we're gonna focus on just three things. We're gonna talk about a little bit about the specs of these jacks, then we'll move over to using it at the same time. And then finally we'll go over a quick installation of this since it doesn't take very long.
So with these, they are gonna be rated for 2,500 pounds per jack. So if you have these together, they're gonna have a total rating of 5,000. And for the total distance of travel they're gonna be able to have, it's gonna be five inches all the way up to 29 inches of stabilization. Now there are a few things that keep in mind with that. That's a wide range of travel and it's gonna be great for stabilizing things.
What it's not designed to do is lift your trailer. They're just meant to kind of make sure everything's level when you're on more of those outdoor camping situations. Now really those would be the most important specs when it comes to the style of jacks. If you need any more information like on the material or just overall measurements, then I just recommend checking out specs portion of our page. Now when we go to other things that this offers you, I wanna talk about this drill attachment right here.
This here I think is gonna save you a lot of time and it's gonna save you a lot of effort too. So super easy to use. Just make sure you have a drill. Come over here and this will work with other jacks too. But you see if I'm going down, it's gonna stop after a certain point. So just make sure you have a drill pile for enough to work with it. But to lift it up, that doesn't really take any time at all. But other than that, there's really not much to these jacks. Now when it comes to the installation, there's a couple ways you can do it, but we'll be doing it in an easier way today. So if you wanna stick around and see that process, just stay tuned, we'll walk you through it. To start off the installation, there's a couple ways we can do this. I'm actually gonna do it the easier way and that's just gonna be using our pre-existing hardware from our past jacks since this is most likely gonna be a replacement part for you. Now if you're not gonna be replacing it, or maybe the old jack you have just has a different pattern than the new etrailer one, then all you're gonna need is gonna be a eighth inch drill bit. You'll make that pilot hole underneath that beam there where those holes gonna line up with the plate of the jack, making sure everything looks good. Then you're gonna make a secondary hole in that same location with the 11/32 bit. And then you'll hold this jack into place with these self-tapping screws. And then you'll be good to go. Before we start bolting down this jack into place, something I recommend doing is setting these out prior, having them in the right orientation. And what I mean by that is the very end of it here where we're gonna have the head of that bolt, we wanna be able to access that. So if I try to install it in this orientation on your passenger side, you won't be able to access that and it might make things a little bit trickier. So save yourself some time, make sure you lay everything out, making sure that head of that bolt is facing out on your passenger side and on your driver's side too. So I left my bolt in place, one of 'em at least. And what I'm gonna do is just line this up. I'm actually gonna line it up with one of these two center holes. I think that's gonna give us the most stability from this. Lemme just push it on and I'm gonna hold it in place just like that. And we'll just make sure we put the other one in place too. But I'm just gonna start off installing one of these. I'm gonna put a flat washer on there and a split washer. A lot of times if you put 'em on at an angle, they'll hold themselves in place. Be careful though, 'cause if you just move a little bit, they'll typically just fall off. I will throw that net on there. Once that's about hand tight or it starts spinning on you, then we're gonna grab the socket and wrench. We're gonna put that wrench up top, socket underneath. And something else I recommend too is once you're getting it tightened down, don't tighten down all the way. Put that second bolt into place so it's not shifting around on you too much. You have everything lined up. And once they're both in place, then you can fully tighten everything down and try to make sure you get this really snug. Once you got both these bolts tightened up, they feel good. Then you can repeat that on the other side. And that'll do it for our look at some of the features and the installation of the etrailer scissor jacks. I'm Matt. Thanks for watching.

Great quality, good price. Will have these now for next time I need them.
Great customer service. Looking forward to getting the jacks put on my Casita travel trailer.
Installed them on the Slideout side of my KZ trailer works great
Easy fit. Removed the old one piece style and applied the single ones. Works good.
Easy ordering, quick delivery, great tracking and order follow-up.
Always a pleasure to work with e-Trailer
Great product for the price. Does a good job of stabilizing my fifth wheel.
East to install and work as they should.
Broke too easy
My son had a friend use his camper for a getaway. Unfortunately, he did not understand the procedure to hook up the camper and damaged the rear jacks. After looking at the issue and determining that the damage could not be repaired replacing was his only option. He was looking for replacements when I told him about etrailer. I purchased a set for him which was significantly less expensive than what he was looking at. Ordered them , arrived I. 3 days and had them installed in a half an hour. Camper was heading out on the trip of the season that afternoon. Always the best price and great quality in everything I have ever purchased from etrailer. Always my first place to look for anything that I need for all of my trailers. Sorry, didn’t get a picture of the project before it left but looked just like the original stabilizer jacks.
Second set I bought for our camper. Had lost one of the original jacks, bought the first set to replace it. Jacks were so much better than the originals, got a second set so all four jacks are the same. Replacement was easy, jacks do a great job supporting the camper. Smooth operation.
I installed 2 of these jacks on our 2018 R-Pod 179 trailer. They function the same as the OE jacks. HOWEVER the L brackets on our old jacks were not just bolted to the trailer frame but also welded. I did not want to remove the welds, so I left the OE brackets as is. I removed the L brackets from the new jacks and installed the new jacks in the existing brackets using the bolts from the new jacks. The new jacks had a smaller diameter bolt than the old jacks. The new jacks fit and function just fine.
Just works. If you are comfortable drilling holes in your RV’s frame and able to follow the instructions these may improve your rig as much as they improved mine. Instillation was time consuming: First lining things up so the jacks bolt to the strongest part of the frame and everything has the space to work, hence drilling a pilot hole then the final hole for the included screws. Note my install took even longer as I was able to get a 5th screw on each side and there are 8 are in the kit, fixed by a quick run to the hardware store. The result is quick and easy set up/ tear down and a very stable parked trailer. Definitely recommend if you need more stability in a small trailer.
Well made and sturdy. A nice replacement for our trailer.
Much like my post about my camper cover, the products were perfect. Andy M was my hero again as the initial scissor jacks I purchased were not available and had a backorder date of December. Andy gave me a call and sent me an email. We chatted and he provided a suitable substitute and had the jacks packed and shipped in record time which allowed me to head out on my trip on time. Best customer support service…thank you Andy M and quality products. I recommend etrailer for both your RV and tow vehicle needs.
I replaced the old scissor jacks on my camper which were looking old. Perfect fit.
The stabilizer jack is very nice. The screws that came with it are very questionable. The supposed self tapping screws that came with it couldn't tap into hot butter. I am now searching for bolts/screws that will do the job as I have already drilled the holes to the specifications in the instruction sheet. Not a real happy camper, but I will overcome.
Very well packed for shipping. Well made and easy to instale.

Thanks for the photo, John! Glad they are working well for you :)
Exact replacement scissor stabilizer for my pop-up. And very fast shipping! The UPS store must be next door to you.
Bought the pair of scissor jacks,2500# capacity, 24 inch for about $55.00 with free shipping. There is no better deal out there. You can pay much more for a single jack that's a name brand but they're all the same design. Just wish the manufacturers would pre-drill the holes cuz you need a cobalt or carbine drill bit.
Have not even open the box yet let alone a chance to install them will update after I do
I received my scissor jacks very quickly after ordering them but, I didn’t install them right away. I live in the upper Midwest and I needed to wait for the weather to subside first. I got them installed on Saturday and they are working great!
The stabilizers arrived as promised. The packaging was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by 3/8” self tapping screws. It made the 1/4” screws previously installed look like a joke. That hardware alone is worth $15.00 here. Installation went smoothly, no extra drilling. Dawn was great. She researched the compatibility of these stabilizers for our camper. The support and product quality make etrailer hard to beat. The only reason for 4 stars is the part’s haven’t been used yet.
Hi Neil, During our RV parts research we found etrailer competitive. This is our first RV so no experience to share at this time. We will be hitting the road this spring to test out these Jacks and other items we have found at etrailer and will send some reviews back. Between the solid quality and fast delivery we will return for more parts when needed. Plus, I want to say thank you for the Youtube videos that etrailer sponsors. They are very helpful to us first timers!!
The only thing that would make them better would be an alarm if you try to hook up to the trailer with the jacks extended... yeah, we did that.
Good quality. Easy installation thanks to universal mounting plate.
Do you have a question about this Camper Jack?
