In groups of two. One was required for a travel trailer replacement. Because the holes in the trailer frame didn't quite match the holes in the original jack, I had to drill one more hole in the frame, but it was a fairly simple installation that works perfectly. I only needed one, but now I have two in case I need to lower the tongue with a jack again!
At this price, you'll get two jacks, but most campers will need four, so you'll need two sets.
Even though it's a good "stabilization" jack for a camping trailer, using it to lift even a small car isn't recommended unless it's an emergency. There is a problem with lateral stability.
Each jack has a weight capacity of 5000 pounds. I have four of these on a 6100lb trailer, and they work great! It's important to remember that these are stabilization jacks, not leveling jacks. They should not be able to support the trailer's entire weight.

I initially passed them up because I didn't realize they were a pair. They're the same jacks that came with my RV, and I had to replace both on the left side due to a previous owner's accident. It took a while to get one of the old ones off, and the brackets were a little bent, so bolting the new ones on took a little longer than I had hoped. I'm not blaming the jacks; they were the OEM jacks for the brackets that were already installed on the RV. If these aren't the jacks that came with your RV, or if you don't have brackets on your RV and must weld or drill holes in your frame, installation will be more difficult than mine. I have no useful information for you if you aren't using them for an RV, other than the fact that they are two good working scissor jacks.
So instead of stabilizers, my LQ horse trailer has a single hydraulic jack in the front to balance it. Because the trailer is entirely made of aluminum and lacks a typical rv-style frame, finding a mounting point can be difficult. The manufacturer had put some aluminum rectangle tubing near the front for a spare tire carrier on one side and more for the propane tanks on the other, so that's what I used until I can get an aluminum welder to add some additional front braces for this to mount on. Aside from that, they're fantastic. When walking around, there is no longer any movement. They're easy to put on and take off thanks to the included handle. However, I wish the included handle had been made out of a thicker plastic.
One of the OEM jacks on our 20' pop-up camper was slightly bent. toy hauler/up/up/up/up/up/up/up/up/ I bought a pair of these to replace the "stabilizer" that had been damaged. When I took out the damaged jack and compared it to the Lopro 24, it was clear how flimsy the OEM jack was. It was a bit of a challenge to install the jack, but I was able to get it to work with just one machine bolt and a nylon locknut. Then, using the aligned bracket as a template, I drilled three additional 5/16" holes in the frame mounting plate and installed the three self-adhesive brackets. threading the metal screws included with the new jacks Though lying on your back is a bit of a workout, a sharp drill bit set, a good cordless drill, and some muscle on wrenching the self-locking nut are all necessary. You can make a solid repair by driving screws home. I added the second jack and purchased two more for the back to make a much more stable stabilizing system. I would have given these jacks five stars if it weren't for the fact that installation requires good tools and familiarity with how to use them.
This was purchased to replace a jack that had been damaged by road debris during a truck retread. It's exactly what it says on the tin: I was disappointed that the mounting holes did not line up with those on my camper, but that was easily fixed with a portable drill. The fact that I got a box of two jacks was the only thing that surprised me. I can't seem to find any indication that this is supposed to be a two-piece set. It also came with the jack handle.
I've used these before to stabilize a 27-foot Coachman motor home while camping, and they're great for keeping the back bedroom from shaking when a grandchild moves on the front bunk. For the same reason, we're now installing these on our newer 31-foot Minnie Winnie.
These are stabilizing jacks, not lifting jacks, according to the manufacturer. This is what I wanted to use to replace my small travel trailer's existing stabilizing jacks. I couldn't bolt them on because of the small frame on my trailer, so they had to be welded on. They are light in weight, have a low height when closed, and a wide range of length when in use. I've only had them for one season and about 30 setups, but I expect them to last a long time.
It only took one to fix the hit-and-run. I used to run the event, but now I have a spare (for the next idiot's event).
After an over-under axle conversion, I installed these jacks on a Fleetwood Niagara. I made a cardboard template from one of the jacks to use as a guide on the frame; however, the hole pattern on the two units was slightly different, so I should have made a template for each jack. During installation on the box frame, I stripped three screws and broke four, so I decided to tap the holes and use an 8 mm class 8 screw instead. If you're installing the units, make a template for each one and consider bolting them to your frame. br>br>.
