Replaced scissor jacks with "C" jacks

Previous setup had 6 BAL stabilizer bars, which worked very well, but it was a pain to crawl half way under the camper to tighten and loosen them, and one jack was bent and wobbling, so "santa" brought me some new powered "C" jacks. Installation was fairly easy. Hardest part was running wire from motors to battery. With an X-chock, they stabilize just as good as the old setup.

Installed switches on front and rear of camper close to level bubbles for easy adjustment.

Very nice. I am going to look into that. I use a drill to raise and lower the scissor jacks but it is still a pita.

Where to buy "C" Jacks?

Where did you get the "C" jacks?

I would like to take a look into this.

Ordered off of Amazon. "C" jacks were $70 per pair(BAL 23225), motors with switches were $245 per pair(BAL 24210 Power Pack), jack pads were $30 for 4(BAL 23200), $40 for wire and electrical boxes to house switches(from local hardware store). So, 4 complete jacks were right at $700 total. A bit pricy, but it sure is nice to just look at the level bubble and push buttons until the camper is level.
