Scissor Jack Recommendation for 2021 Forest River Forest River Rockwood Minilite  

Updated 01/26/2026 | Published 01/25/2026

Question:

I would like to replace my leveling jacks with simple scissor stabilizer jacks. 2021 FR Rockwood minilite that weighs about 7000lbs fully loaded. Would the Part Number: e56VV be stout enough to stabilize this camper?

Hey Thomas, welcome back! And thanks for all of the info you listed on your 2021 Forest River Rockwood Minilite. Based on that I would recommend going with the higher rated scissor jacks part # e96VV which are rated for 15k for the pair. Are you wanting to do just the pair of jacks or 4 total for all corners?

What leveling system do you have now?

I would need to get 4 jacks. I currently have the Ground Control TT system (purchased from Etrailer), which I upgraded to from the stock electric stabilizer system that came with the TT when new. It is a great system, and I don't have any trouble with it, except that I have changed tow vehicles from a 2003, 3/4 ton to a 2017, 1/2 ton truck. The Ground control system is around 500 lbs, and I need to lighten up the gvwr and consequently the tongue weight on my truck. I want to be safe, as well as enable my 1/2 ton truck to have a long life without excessive repairs. I am also aware that if an accident with injuries happens as a result of my rig, an army of investigators would more than likely scour my truck and camper for any violations. Such is the current state of our world.

@ThomasK i see what you mean! The Ground Control TT system is really nice so that would be a solid sacrifice to be on the safer side. Could probably sell it second hand though to recoup some of the cost.
