I spoke with Stromberg Calrson about the Econo Porch Trailer Step # EHS-102-R that you referenced. She confirmed that the Stabil-Step Stabilizer Jacks can be used to help support additional weight on the Econo Porch.

Stabilizers will help increase the weight capacity of the steps, but it is difficult to say by how much due to factors such as quality of stabilizer and the installation process. My contact also recommended anchoring the back of the step to the camper for further support.

Stromberg Carlson offers Stabil-Step Stabilizers in a couple of different sizes to fit different applications. The shortest stabilizer is # JSS-4 that is adjustable from 4-3/4 inches to 7-3/4 inches. The # JSS-7 stabilizer is adjustable from 8 inches to 13-1/2 inches. The tallest stabilizer is # JSS-85, which is adjustable from 8 inches to 15 inches. The installation of the stabilizers will vary based on your application, so the installation will be at your discretion.
