Hi, Im a proud new owner of a 2007 Dutchmen t@b teardrop and new to this forum.

My teardrop comes with no stabilizer jacks. I'd like to install some, and I am looking at a product which I believe to be close to the original design

telescoping model. Also considering scissor type jack. What recommendations might you have?

Here is an item I am considering.

Thank you, your input is appreciated.

D.O.D 💧

    Welcome to the Forums…

    The DM's with those frames had stabilizers that were called "corner steadies".

    There are several threads about this, and there are DM owners here who can help. Do you have any of the old "steadies" on the trailer for reference?

    Here is one search of this group that should have some help.

    This thread has the same basic search links, and a comment from a DM owner with a suggestion or two. @rfuss928 has a 2008 and probably knows much more than I do about them.

    Here are some pics of underneath. These pics look like something similar to one of the pics in the link to the Alko corner steady, but im not sure what im looking at?

    Those are you stabilizers.

    There should be a crank handle with a 3/4 inch socket that fits the nut at the left and top of your pictures. They raise and lower as you turn the crank.

    Yes! That's the outcome I was hoping for. I found a crank stored in the trailer also. Thank you kindly for steering me to a solution!

    Off topic... Yesterday I managed to get the shore power to work by resetting the trailer's GFCI so I felt like I accomplished something there. Now I can cross this off my list to buy and get working on using these. It's a good day 😌

    You can also pick up an adaptor to use your cordless drill to operate the jacks. Walmart or Amazon will have them .
