Replacement Stabilizer Jack

I shmucked up one of my stabilizer jacks on my new 2502KS TT last weekend. I won't go into details other than to warn others not to trust rubber wheel chocks to hold on a grass side-to-side slope. They'll slide on wet grass.
I can't get to my trailer for a few days and I need to order a new stabilizer jack. I don't know what size/model is necessary. Can anyone recommend which model/size/weight capacity to match the others before the Boss notices?

This is most likely what you are looking for.

Only 4 bolts hold it on and its very easy to change.

Thanks Herk,
Mine are manual scissor jacks and not the cool electric ones. But your response pointed me in the right direction (Lippert) and I was able to figure out what I needed there.

I just had my first rookie mistake camping this weekend for the first time in my rockwood by bending my back electric stabilizer trying to put it down to far. Any places out here with decent prices on them and can I do it myself with a set of wrenches?

I know we always say "do a search" before you ask; in this case, just scroll down

1Brownie,

If your rear stabilizer looks anything like the one in Hrek's photo, the leg/arm can be removed, straightened, strengthened, and replaced without much hassle. The entire rear stab (replacement) is about $400. It can be repaired for way less.

Where do you live? Are they as mangled as these? Bottom picture is just before they were re-installed as axle jack on Bob Caldwell's camper. They work just fine.

yes in the photo but it just bent the u-channel arm. I don't see where I can buy that only, instead the entire system it looks like?

I've not see replacement 'legs' just the side arms and the motor.

Remove and repair.

Where do you live? If you take both legs off and send them to me, I will straighten and reinforce the legs. Of course you pay shipping both ways and reinforcing material.

I am noticing our front stabilizer jacks are bending the "L" bracket that comes down. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? I will unbolt the jacks and rebend it. I just wanted to know if this was a normal thing or am I doing something wrong.

Lol. Happened to me a couple weeks ago now on my Salem Cruise Lite 262bhxl. Couldn't figure out why the leg wouldn't come back up when loading out. Finally realized the leg had collapsed. Fortunately a bottle jack helped me force it back up.
Called dealer and left a message for them to get back to me. When they didn't that night I went there the next morning. Found out it would likely be sometime in September before they could get me in. I coulda replaced it myself but the wife and I had been talking about getting a slightly smaller rig for traveling. Current rig was 30 feet. Pulled ok with my 2011 F150 but just a bit difficult to put in the back yard. I ended up making a deal for a Rockwood 2304DS. Super nice rig and about 5 feet shorter. First trip out it handled much better. I think the independent axles and slightly larger tires made the biggest difference.

My unit (30 days old)was a 2018 Salem Forest Cruise Lite purchased at Royal Coach in Bakersfield, Ca. (1-661-397-8400) Their service department contacted Lippert Components (574-537-8900) and due to my warranty covered the replacement of the front stabilizing jack.
