Manual scissor stabilizer jacks on a 2018 Minnie Winnie 31K

[richp5]

I had these jacks installed at the four corners of my previous Class C (Thor) years ago and purchased new ones for my 2018 Mnnie Winnie 31K. The installer stated they would not be compatible on the corners due to no support. Has anyone installed these jacks on/near the corners or found good accessible spots? Thanks as always for any replies.

If the installer is being literal, then he's probably right. But if they are installed on the frame rails close to the corners, that should be fine, right?

I was able to show him the rear frame rail areas and he welded the back ones on but couldn't fit up front. It improved the sway when walking about. Thanks for the reply.

I did the same thing on my Class C 2004 “Minnie Winnie” Model 24F shortly after buying it new in 2004. As a “Certified Welder”, I did the installation myself, but I did not weld their mounting plates to the chassis. I fabricated, drilled holes in them and the chassis, and bolted the 3/8” thick steel plates to the frame, and then I bolted the scissors jacks to the steel plates. I only used them to stabilize the motorhome when parked in a campsite, and I never used them to raise the motorhome up off one or more of its wheels to change a tire or for any other maintenance or repair, I always used a hydraulic “bottle jack” or a floor jack and properly-rated heavy-duty jack stand(s) to raise & support the motorhome at those times. When I traded the motorhome in on a 2011 ITASCA “SunStar” Class A Model IFE30W in 2012, those scissor jacks were still on it.
