Front Jack Brackets

We're in the process (With a Little Help From Roger) of devising a MUCH better plan for the front stabilizer jacks on our 16-foot 1988 travel trailer.  Short captions are below each photo.

Here's what the finished product will look like when in place.

First, we checked our channel iron pieces to make sure they fit the front frame.

Ordinary round tops of Old School jacks simply slip off the narrow 1988 frame.

The idea is to weld on channel iron to the stabilizer jacks.

Each channel iron piece is 2 inches wide, same as the top of the jack stand.  The red lines indicate the areas of welds needed.

Above is our stabilizer box.  It's packed too tight. By switching to the new plan, a big chunk of space can get opened up.

These two pieces can come out and never be carried again.

We will be able to fit in numerous more shim pieces.
Note that the front jacks would now be shimmed from the bottom.

LIFE IS GOOD!

THANK YOU, ROGER!
