Is anyone here actually level his rv with these jacks ?? i've always been told to not level a rv by the frame. you should only use them stabilize it.

I have them mounted to the frame of our camper (22ft), and does well to level out. They are attached to the four corners.

The 3602 rapidjack is designed as a jack for a dual wheel trailer. I have not had occasion to use it and hope I don't ever. The Anderson 3604 camper leveler, which I have and love, would certainly level a truck side to side, I don't know how truck campers are leveled fore and aft.

The Mfgr states that they will take "tremendous weight" and that they can be used as a stabilizer under leveling jacks. They don't say how much weight they will withstand.....

Usually on most trailers, the jacks on one end are inline, or perpendicular... but they do not have to be... as long as you can reach the frame rail with the stabilizer bar you should be fine... the idea behind the sytsem is to simulate having three points of contact, which make the most level plane, so one corner of the camper has the stabilizer bars going both ways, front to back , and side to side....

To some degree. I have a small travel trailer and I can tighten it up to raise a corner of the camper an inch or so if needed for leveling. But actually they aren't made to level the camper just to stabilize it. These have been great for my set up.

I mounted them on my electric rear jacks that swing down from the corners. It mounts fine but the performance is poor. The owner of Hanscom told me that I would get much better performance if I installed the scissor jacks instead. Not a viable option if you ask me. Personally on my next trailer I'll go back to the JT's Strong Arm Jacks, which have more connection points and smaller spans which means less flexing.

How are these waypoints added. I tried doing it on my 265WT and couldn't figure it out. I may have to pull up the online manual and see if it adresses this issue.

I would not use these for anything that is suspended, like a heavy car. These are a lighter jack and work great for additional support to balance or keep a trailer from rocking. I used them on a trailer with single axle to keep the trailer from tipping back with too much weight in the wrong places since I was working on the surface of the trailer and walking around. They would work also on RV trailers to stabilize the movement of the trailer when parked.....

These are stabilizer's and are not designed to be used to level your unit. If you raise the unit beyond stabilizing the jack screw will bend and will no longer be useful.

That's correct. They do NOT jack up the car. They are used to support the car after you have jacked it up. For safety reasons, you don't want to rely on the jack to keep the car from crashing down on you while you are under it!! Thus, the use of the "jack stands".

A friend of mine did some dips on them. He's about 200lbs. It didn't look totally stable, and I don't know how long the welds would hold if you did this repeatedly.

I would recommend two , so that all the weight is not on a single axle for an extended period of time . Check on Amazon for a set of levelers . Anderson also makes a product that is specifically designed for leveling at the campsite . What you are looking at is a product that is designed more for emergency flat repair situations

These are specifically made for unlevel conditions. The only concern is you have to watch the gravel. You don't want big chunky rocks under these. I had to buy two kits as one wasn't enough. I use them on a 12k Lb tandem axle 38 ft 5th wheel. Takes 3 under each wheel for me just for starters then one under the landing gear and rear stabilizers. That's 16 and gives me 4 more to add to the low side. If the campsite it any more out of level then that I don't want to park there anyhow.

These are designed for a max load of 7,500 pounds per pair of jacks. So if your RV or trailer is under 15,000 pounds total weight and/or under 7,500 pounds on the axle you plan to install them they should be fine. I put them on my 26' travel trailer which ways 8,000 pounds with full water tanks. I don't know about yours but my experience a motor home weighs much more than a travel because they have an engine and transmission and a much heavier frame. I wouldn't be surprised if it weighs closer to 15,000 pounds dry.

I put mine back into the box as soon as I unpacked them and sent them back. Very light and cheap...save your money and get a good set of stabilizing jacks.

I'm not an engineer, so I can't directly answer that question. My travel trailer is between 3000 and 3500 # (depending on the load) and the jack lifts and supports the wheel. If I need to lift it several inches it can take a while to crank it by hand, but it does a fine job getting the trailer level. I have recently tried using an impact drill to raise the jack (because this type of drill does not twist your wrist) but there were some problems with that approach. The jack-screw started to show signs of metel shavings which might mean I am near the limit of the jack's weight load. That said - I would buy another one of these if this one breaks. If you get one you might also want to buy a large pizza-delivery bag to store it in. Works perfect.

I use 2 stabilizers. One goes under the rear bumper, and the other goes under the frame before I extend the slide. Our trailer is a Rockwood, which I believe has a very springy suspension, and these stabilizers seem to help a great deal. I still use the corner stab jacks, but I think I would be just as stable without them.
