Need new pair of rear scissor jacks
Are the rear scissor jacks universal? I had a bit of a mishap which requires me to get new ones for the rear. Are they universal or ar ethe bolt patterns different and I need specific jacks? If specific, which ones do I Need? Thanks!

Not sure on bolt patterns but you will need to match height and weight limits for them to work.

Most bolt patterns are universal. I had to replace mine also. Got them on Amazon. There are only a few manufacturers. As mentioned previously, they are sold by weight limits. A hybrid like yours will be in one of the lower weight classes, therefore cheaper.

Just remember. Rear scissor jacks are not Jacks. They are stabilizers. Big difference. People seem to ignore this.

Look at the ones on the camper now. They will have a weight capacity stamped on them, like 1500 lbs, 2000 lbs,etc. Don't get new ones with less capacity. More is ok.

Scissor Jack / Stabilizer Jack, they do the same thing, designed the same way and roughly serve the same purpose. Slide a scissor jack under a trailer and it becomes a stabilizer. Just saying. If they truly wanted to stabilize a trailer, they'd mount "Outriggers" on the sides like they do to motorized crane's.

They sell a part called SaveAJack. One piece bolts to the Jack, the other bolts to the frame. Two clips to hold on frame part. Allows you to remove for transport and no worry of damage during transport. In other words, nothing hanging down to catch the ground. I'm using them on my trailer.

I think i had the same mishap. When you mount the new stabilizer jacks. Run a string from the bottom of the back bumped to the bottom of rear tire. Mount the new jack forward, inside the tire string angle. This makes it harder to rip the new rear jacks off.

Those are nice. I may look into those more for jacks added near my axles but they seem pricy for what they are. Cheaper to get new jacks once but not twice. Who would have thought that CW had them cheaper as well.

Good idea!
Also, you can just use removable jacks, (I use them as stabilizers instead of the levelers, once the coach is first leveled).

I needed to replace 2 stabilizers, went to my local auto supply (Canadian Tire) and got 2 real scissor jacks, planning to have my local weld shop fabricate brackets. Not too expensive, and much stronger than the originals.
Cheers.

What would concern me with this approach is that the stronger you make the jack, the more you endanger the frame if you snag one,.

BINGO !!! Did that to my popup in 84. The stabilizers from the factory wouldn't hold up a tricycle.

I'd like to see that. I'd also like to see where you could park the thing for a stay-over.

Go to a salvage yard and grab 2 matching jacks out of similar cars. Eg, 2 GM W-Bodies (Grand Prix, Buick Regal, Chevy Lumina). You'll get them a lot cheaper than buying new.
