Never used one. Looks different than the usual ones I see. Yall got a problem with thieves up that way? Thieves must have read about the problems we've had with ours. They won't take it.

That does look pretty hefty. I bought this one from Camping World.

And on a different note, I would consider this plus the other benefits it offers

Amazon.com: BAL 25066 Fastjack King Pin Stabilizer: Automotive

We will have THIS for sale on Friday at Goshen after we have our JT Strongarms installed

Any early takers?

OC I saw one "sorta" like yours, but not as hefty, on Amazon for $16.00.

We actually lock our tripod on to ours, but just thought that was a different looking option for those who don't use the tripod.

saw a couple of one star reviews on that HSV.

Ours is steel (dealer stopped selling the lighter weight ones after a lot of returns due to bending) and has heavy duty chains to brace the three legs.

Ain't gonna happen. D&D Chassis is in process of shutting down all operations except those deemed necessary by TOWTA. The OldCoot is shutting all fabrication down! I didn't retire to work!

We have not had any problems and have owned them since last NOV - maybe because they are designed for a Lightweight and not a big rig? Dunno

nope*, (knocks furiously on wood) just saw it on Amazon and was impressed by the bulk/design of it.


*don't intend to invite 'em either by making ourselves an easy target. Everything is locked up here, with a security system and remote cameras with motion detector lights.

Geez. We just don't have that problem, and haven't my whole life, at least where that shop is. I'd say most are pretty brave to even explore around that area. Good chance of leaving with holes.

The limit has been reached! What part of "I didn't retire to work" don't you understand. Subject closed as is D&D Chassis! TOWTA will definitely not help as she is a staunch supporter of the shutdown. She's tired of cleaning up the messes.

We've only had *one* thing come up missing here;

Hired a guy who looked like he was "raised by wolves" (except that his momma came with him...she was wearing cut off overalls and brogan type boots, I kid you not....every bit of sixty years old) to split firewood.

She was eying a small 12v air compressor on the back patio. Came home from work the next day and it was gone.

It was sitting there because it had stopped working...was going to trash it. Joke was on her!
