For RV owners, 5th wheel stabilizers are a big help in stabilizing their mobile homes. When you have reached a camping site, there is really no assurance that the ground would be stable or solid. That is where stabilizing equipments like 5th wheel stabilizers are greatly needed.
5th wheel stabilizers (a.k.a. stabilizing jacks) are generally located at the back of home Flexible Tripod trailers and are connected to a pickup truck, which can be detached to be used as a separate means of transportation. As what the name suggests, stabilizing jacks reduce the shaking movements of trailers. As you might have experienced, a shaky trailer could really disturb your sleep and other important activities.
However, you have to be aware that there are different types of stabilizing jacks: C-shaped stabilizer, telescoping jack stabilizer, hydraulic jack, and tripod jack – the type of jack you will use will also determine how much shaking would be reduced. Whether you are using the manual or electric kind, these jacks (with the exception of tripod jacks) are made from rigid spring coils that are relatively pliant and do not provide a firm grasp on the trailer.
Why is a tripod jack (a.k.a. king pin jack) preferable? Well, setting up a tripod jack doesn’t normally require a lot of time (around ten minutes). Plus, you don’t even need to hire someone to install it. If you’re concerned with the price, tripod jacks are not exceedingly expensive. Depending on the manufacturer, you’ll be spending around $90 to $200 for it. Tripod jacks are also specially designed to take up less space for storage.
When looking for a reliable tripod jack, Ultra-Fab’s king pin tripod stabilizer claims to be the most durable tripod out in the market. Its slide and glide feature allows easy installment and the braces firmly locks to keep it from being stolen. The Olympian Fifth Wheel Tripod King Pin Stabilizers are easy to maneuver and provide utmost steadiness.
