The use of stabilizer jacks on a recreational vehicle is a popular and
useful option. They provide a reasonable amount of stability while using,
occupying, and moving around in your camper. It is important to remember
that stabilizer jacks are for support of the coach and are not designed to
bear the weight of a recreational vehicle.
To operate the stabilizer jack, place crank onto the jack shaft and turn
clockwise to lower until the frame begins to raise slightly. Equalize all four
jacks for best support. You may need to adjust each jack two or three
times.
To raise jack to upper travel position, insert crank or power switch and
turn counterclockwise until jacks are seated in UP travel position.
Upon completing the setup of your coach, you are now ready to make
attachments to various facilities:
• Waste water hose connections.
