Well...Im the guy that does exactly what you are not supposed to do and use my scissor jacks pretty much to level the trailer even if i was on a cliff! Just crank it more!!!

Well this weekend with the all the wind on satuday the sand erroded under my support pads leaving the jacks a tough job of lifting at really wierd angles and finally BAM with a loud thump one gave way and smooshed it self up good.


Are there any new toys out I should know about?

Or should I just go get another set of the biggest jacks I can find? WHere should I be looking?

After I try to find the levelest piece of ground to camp on, I just use a couple of bottle jacks and 2X4's to level out the trailer and my scissor jacks to support them.
