Front Stabilizer jacks??

I have a 2016 2860DS. Is it supposed to have front jacks? The specs on the RV dealer sites say it does. I don't have them.

Seems like this should be an easy question, but I haven't received any responses yet. Is a 2014 2860DS supposed to have front stabalizer jacks?

Are you asking about leveling jacks? There is a difference between leveling and stabilizing jacks. When we ordered our 2016 2860DS, the four point leveling jacks was an option. There was no option for front stabilizer jacks.

Thanks for the reply. I was just wondering if the P.O. or the dealer took them off. Thinking it never had them like your saying. Specs for standard equipment are misleading. I might get a couple of bottle jacks just to stabalize it up front.

Thanks for the info Mark! I might have this figured out. I have a Chevy Chassis. Is yours a Ford?

So are you saying you have rear leveling jacks but no front leveling jacks? I would imagine they were removed by someone if that is the case.

When I bought my 2014 Sunseeker 2860DS with just 5,400 miles on it in 2015, the original owner had taken the rear airbags off. The valves were in place but the airline running to the bags was cut and there were no bags. I took it back to the dealer where I bought it and they installed new bags free of charge. I thought that was very nice of them as I am sure they did not realize the bags had been stripped either.
