Middle Stabilizer

Hello all. We are looking at possibly getting a bigger 5ver(bunkhouse) and I was curious if anyone has ever mounted a power stabilizer midway down the trailer, maybe right in front of the front axle. Or is this even possible. I'm just having a crazy brainstorm and thought about this. Any comments or suggestions are welcomed. Maybe a stabilizer like this one:

I would probably just use a set of these:

That way you don't have to worry about mounting anything on top of propane lines, or possibly drilling through something to mount the Jack. It might surprise you how much stuff is run along frame rails.

I did the same thing, only I used scissor jacks instead of the electric. I'm probably opposite of everyone else, I removed the electric stabilizers completely and installed 6 scissor jacks. I added BAL stabilizer arms to the front and back jacks and my trailer is very stable now.
