Leveling Jack's fifth wheel

[tmpiazz]

I have a 2020 Cougar 30RLS. It has electric stabilizing Jack's in rear as well as Strong Arm stabilizer on the rear Jack's and the landing gear. I want to add leveling Jack's. The coach has factory installed mounts on the rear for what I think is for leveling Jack's. There are none in the front. I think I'd like to install two leveling Jack's on the existing mounts. Electrical jacks that I'd adjust manually with a remote or control pad. I am not a fan of auto level. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Ground control is not an inexpensive system, and IMHO not worth the expense if your not going to use all the features.

Thanks for the reply. I tried finding individual Jack's with remote control but I've had no luck. Buying a 3+ k system is not what I want. Again thanks.

The scissor jacks are made in several different weight ratings a jack rated @ 10k has no problem lifting one corner of a 5k trailer are you willing to pull the trigger on a cordless drill ?

Thanks all for the suggestions. I think the scissor jack idea may be the way to go. More research and moving forward. Thanks again.

Just be aware that stabilizing jacks are for stabilizing, not lifting. Using a single scissors jack on one corner to lift the camper can put a permanent bend in the frame.
