Help! Leveling with stabilizer jacks?

[Narnia]

Hi everyone! We are considering purchasing a 2010 3000RK. The owner has been leveling it with the stabilizer jacks instead of using blocks under the wheels.

Should I be concerned? I watched a Youtube video that said that doing so will warp / twist the frame! Is this true? If so, is there a way to tell if the frame has been warped/twisted?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have the same stabilizers and they are not strong enough to warp your frame.
The leg will bend long before the frame is stressed.
And yes, do not expect the stabilizers to level the trailer. I use the Anderson crescent shaped wedges for side to side leveling then use the front jacks for front to rear leveling and then the stabilizers to keep from bouncing the back end.

There are several ways to level your trailer...any of which should be done before the stabilizers are used at all. They "stabilize"...they don't lift.


I wouldn't think you'd need to worry about your frame, only the condition of the stabilizers.

Do yourself a favor and shop for a slightly newer unit with HYDRAULIC levelers.

Thank you, for putting my mind at ease!
