Question:
Is there any comparison of how stable the Ark stabilizers are, in comparison to scissors jacks and JT Strongarm stabilizers? I have the latter on my 25’ travel trailer and the shaking from people walking or wind gusts is excessive. It is a big commitment to go from bolt-on scissors jacks to welded stabilizers, so I would want to be sure I’m doing the right thing.

Expert Reply:
The Ark Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jacks # AR94FR are definitely better than just standard scissor jacks, but the JT Strong Arm Stabilizers # LC191025 are a better option since they distribute the weight across the frame to help strengthen the stabilization of the trailer. The Ark jacks are much easier to use than scissor jacks and can quickly be set in place or retracted and locked up out of the way, so they definitely have their place in the market. Since you're looking for the best stabilization I'd have to stick with the JT Strong Arm stabilizers.
One of the other experts here had the JT stabilizers installed on his trailer that they leave out in a field for their hunting trips and he's said its made a world of difference and taken away that spring board feeling when walking inside the trailer. I've attached a short video below where Dave will walk you through the installation process to give you a better idea of how they work.
