Rear Trailer Stabilizing Jack for TAB320

Does anyone know where I can order a pair of Rear trailer Stabilizing Jack for 2017 TAB320? Is it easy to replace or I should bring it in to the DEALER?

    @huanvanho, based upon what I know (not much), it is likely not an easy task.

    See @Grumpy_G's July 2022 comments in the first discussions I have included at the bottom of this post.  I concur with his view that nuCamp unwisely installed the stabilizers using carriage bolts that are concealed under the interior flooring.  Because of that, you potentially may have to cut into the vinyl flooring to gain access to the bolt heads.

    I do not know how easily accessible the rear carriage bolt heads will be.  It probably depends on the interior cabinet locations/alignment in relation to the bolt heads.  If at some point you decide to also replace the front stabilizers, and determine that you will need to cut into the vinyl flooring, one or more of those carriage bolt heads may be located in an area that would be visible from the living space of the trailer cabin, most likely on the floor near the entry door and/or shower areas (if you have an inside shower.)  I do not have my trailer at my home to check the specific location of each stabilizer, but the carriage bolt heads for the front stabilizers may be in areas that are not easily accessible (e.g., under the front kitchen cabinets/refrigerator.

    There is a good possibility that when you attempt to remove the nut(s) from the bolt threads under the trailer, the head of the bolt(s) may rotate, preventing you from easily removing the nut(s.)  I confirmed the presence of several carriage bolt heads under my flooring by running a magnet across the floor (before having my flooring replaced by nuCamp.)  I knew where to look for the bolts in my 2019 320S by referring to the below construction photo (not my photo, but it was taken in June, 2018, so probably relevant for a 2017 model as well.)  The round silver areas visible along the flooring are the heads of carriage bolts, but most of those are for attachment of the flooring to the trailer frame below.  They are located above the black Azdel underlayment, but are covered by the interior vinyl flooring.

    The suggestion to apply pressure with a screwdriver or pry bar between the stabilizer and the trailer frame when attempting to remove the nut(s) from the stabilizer bolts might work without having to access the carriage bolt heads.



    Before attempting to remove the stabilizers (yourself, or asking a dealer), I suggest that you contact nuCamp "Customer Experience" to see if they can provide you with any suggestions:

    Don't know what your frame looks like on early model so this may not be helpful...

    Is there enough meat on the frame to allow you to drill and mount same or newer stabilizers independently?  Possibly adding short pieces of drilled angle iron?
    If so you might cut off old bolts with angle grinder, and liberally apply polysulfate caulk to seal remnants.
