Why Doesn't Valterra Folding Manual Stabilizer for Trailers and RVs # 020106 Have Weight Capacity

Published 07/27/2018

Question:

Ive seen some try to use this for Truck Campers when camper is off the truck, and its important to know how much load these can handle if someone raises the jacks up intentionally or inadvertently. Have you tested load on these, what can they handle? Arctic Fox 990.

The Valterra Folding Manual Stabilizer for Trailers and RVs # 020106 does not have a specific weight capacity since it does not actually lift or designed to support full weight of camper. Because of that it would be hard to give a capacity. So if someone used this on a 16k trailer but only put a little bit of weight on them does that mean they are rated for 16k? Not really, it means they were able to be used with a 16k trailer while maybe only supporting a small fraction of that.
