Lock Arm stabilizer bars

[STL-UltraLite25KS]

I have been reading about Lock Arm stabilizer bars, and I have been hoping to add them to my Microlite 25KS. However after looking, It am not sure I can.

The rear driver side of my trailer has the waste pipe. This could cause an issue on that side.

In addition, on both sides of the rear frame there is metal Triangle mounted to the frame about 4 inches from the scissors jack mount.


See the pictures:





Any suggestions? Are these stabilizer bars feasible?

I'm not sure what system you're planning to install. I put the SteadyFast system on our camper...2 at the front and 1 at the rear. The frame bracket is about 3x3" and looks like it would fit on either side of the rear jack.

Build a tripod on the side of the I beam and connect to it.

I was looking at the BAL Lock-Arm stabilizers. I am more concerned they will not retract fully with the Triangle brace that is already there.

The triangle brace is a practically useless skid bar. Go to the outside of it by anchoring to the side of the frame on a tripod of 3 straps.

And what about the waste pipe? it is less than a foot from the jack mount.

1/4 x 2 steel bar. Build the tripod to go outside the waste pipe or under it.

I am not exactly a welder... How the heck do I get it on to the frame??

Bolts and nuts

Thanks for the help.. but that might be a bit past my expertise.. I just can't visualize what you mean.

Extremely fuzzy sketch of a tripod that could be bolted to the side of the I beam.

I had the same problems with mine. I added a cross member to the rear and installed one at a right angle to the other.
