Bent stabilizer jacks after the hurricane a few weeks ago and now can get them up but not down again!   Has anyone replaced these stabilizer jacks?

    What year is the 320?  I'm sure it was very wet...so you may just be a bit rusted up.  If you can, get under the trailer and have a good look.
    Do what you need to do with whatever you have to lubricate the big screw mechanism.  Here is a thread that shows what to look for.
    Welcome to the Forums, and hope that you and your trailer are safe.

    They are easy to replace and probably are BAL stabilizers model 23007. Readily available from Amazon and other sites.

    I removed the BAL front stabilizers on my 2021 S BD to facilitate access to the undercarriage for ruining wiring. It is actually quite easy; you just need to remove two bolts per side. The factory fasteners were low-quality and even though the camper was never used in winter, they were already rusting. When I reinstalled the stabilizer, I replaced them with SS and nylock nuts, and also lubed the screw assembly. Should you decide to go this route, a good source for the stainless hardware is McMaster-Carr.
    Here is a shot of the leveler - you can see the one of the four nut/bolt that need to be removed to drop the entire leveler assembly out. Each of those four nuts/bolts/lock washers were replaced with stainless steel hardware.

    Ditto CharlieRN, excellent idea to replace with stainless hardware. McMasterCarr is a great source for hardware. Priced competitively and fast shipping.

    I've replaced a few. Pretty easy. May need some WD40 when loosening them when you do. If you use a drill to lower/raise them the ends can become stripped over time. That's what happened with mine and replaced them.

    Just a quick suggestion.  If you use stainless bolts, I would use plated steel or Monel nuts (also available at McMaster).  Stainless on stainless can 'gall' and sieze up very easily...so if you ever have to remove them in the future...it might be tough.

    @barbanncall here is the post from @Dalehelman on exactly how he replaced his rear stabilizers with scissor jacks. Just search it on the Forum. I have this mod and absolutely love it!
