RV Stabilizers — Full Transcript
Read the complete transcript of Hilltop Camper & RV's stabilizer video explaining how stabilizer jacks are used after the camper is leveled, how they reduce rocking, and how a crank handle or compatible drill setup may be used on the stabilizers shown.
Important setup note: Stabilizers are for stabilizing the camper after it is level; they are not intended to lift or level the RV unless the manufacturer specifically says otherwise. Stabilizer design, drive size and allowable tools can vary, so follow your exact owner’s manual and equipment instructions.
Transcript note: The supplied transcript did not include timecodes, so it is presented in readable paragraphs without timestamps.
Um, right down here you have your stabilizer jacks. They're on all four corners. Um, they're just for stabilizing. So, you want to level the camper first.
If you have to level front to back, you're just bringing your tongue jack up and down. And if you have to level side to side, you can drive up on some blocks wood or lynx levelers to level side to side. Once you get the camper level, that's when you want to crank these down. So, I have this one down right now, but it's just this simple crank handle, which comes with the camper.
So, I'm going to crank it to the ground. Once it hits, I just want to snug it up a little bit. And that just keeps the camper from rocking back and forth when I'm walking around inside or if it's a windy day. It is also a 3/4 drill bit. So, if you have a cordless drill, you can zip them up and down by with the drill instead of cranking it with the crank here.
