Micro Minnie Stabilizer Jacks?

On my new Micro Minnie, I am pretty sure it states online that it comes with stabilizer jacks. However, in my owners bag I have documentation for the jacks which state they are in fact leveling jacks.

Which is correct?

I'm guessing the documentation is correct since my jacks are scissor jacks like depicted on the documentation. I also have BAL stickers on them. I have the bar too, in the passthrough. But I have power adjustment and would only need the bar in the event of failure of the power adjustment.

Those are stabilizing jacks. You can see the first safety message says "DO NOT attempt to use this scissors jack to lift excessive weight or tires off of the ground"

That's basically telling you that these are stabilizing jacks, not leveling.

But stabilizer jacks with 5000# lifting capacity each? Seems excessive.

What would make the difference between stabilizer jacks and leveling jacks? The ability to lift the wheels off of the ground? These jacks can clearly do that, but I'm guessing that the leveling jacks have more structural support to keep the frame from twisting?

Stabilizers

Hello-
The attached photo (Amazon) are the BAL product we have on the micros. Similar but not a scissor jack.

Ok, Thanks for this!

I'll have to take a closer look the next time I'm at the trailer. I could have sworn they were scissor jacks. But your photo makes me think not.

When I was picking up the micro Minnie I was told they are stabilizing jacks and not leveling jacks. The guy made a point of it to me.

Yes, I know. My jacks do not match the graphic on the supplied booklet I have. The jacks match the graphic supplied by SactoSteve.

Don't believe everything the Dealership staff tells you. They are correct this time, but sometimes they don't know the facts. For example, at my dealer they insisted that the converter which came standard with my TT would convert the DC power to AC power. They were dead wrong. Only DC powered items will run off of the batteries unless an inverter is installed.
