Question:
can these jacks be used to level a destination camper ?
asked by: Dennis C
Expert Reply:
Dennis, it looks like your Forest River Destination has a GVWR of 13,000 lbs, so with these jacks having a combined capacity of 10,000 lbs, I'd say these jacks are not quite there, weight wise.
I'd suggest going with the Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks # UF48-979002 instead. These have the same operation as the ones above, but a slightly higher lift height, and an increased capacity of 13,000 lbs. These jacks are sold in pairs, so if you needed 4 then you'd need to order two sets.
