Homemade trailer stabilizers??

[urban5]

Anybody made their own? If so, what did you use? I need some, and am wanting to make my own.

Here is my red neck stabilizers................



O.K. just kidding but I was tired of setting in the galley or stepping up and getting dumped on my butt.

Now use the little aluminum screw type stands.

Somewhere on here I saw some large diameter PVC pipe ones that telescoped out and pinned with a rod to different heights. Looked kinda ingenuious for an inexpensive stabilizer.(DUH! page 3 link above)

FWIW, I plan to pick up a few of the OEM jacks that come in the spares kit with cars. Drill 4 mounting holes in each base and secure a 3"X3" of ply to the 'top' of the jack.

Then I'll mount them (upside down) to the underside of the frame and give the threads a heavy coat of grease.

I could lower them with a lug wrench, but a cordless drill will make quick work of lowering them.
