Stabilizer jack wrench storage in bigger front tub

WayneW

I found a nice place to store the stabilizer jack wrench on trailers with the new bigger tub.  Trailer is a 2021 320S.  I mounted the wrench on the back wall of the tub, using two plastic grip hooks from HD.  It's a tight fit - I had to grind off about 1/8" from each end of the wrench to make it fit.  It's now out of the way but handy.

Very nice job, I like the fit.

I consider the stabilizers as an anti theft device.  We keep our crank locked up.

Nice mod for a tool that can be hard to store and it looks like you made things work for you.  My only concern here (as Sharon alluded to) is that the wrench is like an ignition key to a vehicle.  Many trailer owners drop the stabilizers after parking their trailers at their homes as a means of deterring others from stealing their trailers or at least making it more difficult for a thief to hook onto the trailer and drive away with it.  If the stabilizer wrench is easily accessible (mine is locked inside the storage area of my trailer) it would make it easy for a theft to occur.  I use the stabilizers and wheel boots when my trailer is parked outside our home as these trailers are eye candy to thieves.

I have a lock on the box. When I travel or am around camp I leave the box unlocked. If I’m not going to be around camp I turn the propane off (2-way fridge so no propane needs) and lock the box. Or if it’s sitting outside at the house I will generally have the box locked.  And a coupler lock. And a hitch pin lock. And a spare tire lock. 

Trouble is, now I have a hard time remembering which key goes where!

The 2021 T@B 320’s use a 3/4” socket on the end of this stabilizer jack wrench. In the past, the T@B S Max models used the split end like the pop-up campers used. If a thief has a good ratchet and a 3/4” socket, they can now raise the stabilizers with greater ease than on the older T@B’s. But it still does take time for a thief to raise the jacks.

Nice mod - looks OEM. You could use those same hooks inside on the passenger get side bench if you were concerned about theft.
