I bent one once. I took it off and used some wood and heavy hammer to reshape it. It worked although when remounted and retracted, it did point a bit to the right about a half inch. It just looked like the dealer mounted a little bit off. It works fine just like the others.

I bent mine when it was in the retracted position. I was using a 2x6 board for leveling and when I pulled off the board, the tire stood the board up effectively stabbing the board into the jack as I was moving forward. I felt it hit in the truck.

Bent my bracket arms, replaced them both, not hard to do, or trust me it would have been done by a dealer.

I've mashed my electric stabilizers and then the replacement scissor jacks all to crap... repeatedly.
Did you do it and need to know what to do now? If so, what kind of stabilizer was it (pictures are good)?

OldCoot on the forum here has dismounted/dismanted electric stabilizers and rebuilt/reinforced the legs on a few occasions. He builds them better than new.
See pictures here of his work:

He took stabilizers that I mashed all to heck and gave to another forum member. He rebuilt them better than new. It was amazing to see. I thought they were an absolute total loss.

As I was unloading trailer (parked) and later walked out to go to dinner and noticed the front right stabilizing was bent. The others were all in the right downward position.

OC reinforced mine, and I just bent that Yellow bar not the whole leg. His reinforcement stopped that...   PS: If you can't get the part it would be better to add hand crank stabilizers scissor type. Remove what is there and bolt on the new scissor jacks.

That's a weird place to bend on. It might be worth talking to your dealer about a warranty replacement or to try and figure out how it bent.
Were you trying to level the camper with the stabilizers or something?

Not bent one yet, but put almost no trailer weight on them.
