  As an FYI, the Camco socket works on Dutchman units. You need the T-slot style for LG units.

    Our dealer in Madison WI has the socket for the stabilizer that fits in a cordless drill. It works great.

  I went a different way.  I bought 3 parts   a 3/8" 18 inch socket extension (kti-22018), a 3/8 to 1/4 reduction fitting and a 3/4 inch standard socket for 3/8" drive.  The overall length of my stabilizer assembly (connected to drill at the 1/4 " side) is about 20 inches (makes it easier to get to without being too close).  The photos show the overall setup, and a couple of close ups of separate pieces that go together to create.  I like not having to be up tight and personal with the stabilizer screws.

  Yeah, I know... it works well so I've just ignored the rust.  May have to deal with it at some point....

  I went to SEARS and bought the adapter to fit my drill, purchased a extension shaft 24 inches and the correct socket. All of this goes together and it makes the raising and lowering of the stabilizers easy. SEARS has all the craftsman tools you need.

  Agree that it is a matter of personal preference.  I extended the handle on my hand crank to keep from having to stoop over and reach so far.  Works great and I can have the stabilizers down almost as quickly as if I had to dig out a drill, plus it's less equipment to drag around.  I can also tell when the stabilizers are down or up at the right point and not have to be concerned about overcranking.

  I switched to the drill on my recent trip. It was awesome! Very fast! You can tell if the stabilizers are down and not overcranked with a drill.

  Drill (comes in handy for other potential repair activities when I'm on long trips).  Like having the tool capacity in remote locations.

  Cut the handle off of the crank that came with my T@B, ground three flats on the end so it won't slip in the chuck and use an 18 volt drill. Love it, love it, love it.

  But you'll need a generator for that blender - or did you manage to find a battery-powered one?

  Just get a blender drill attachment and you are good to go for both.

  I don't want to alter my stabilizer handle but I'm interested, I'm going to check and see if LG sells the handle.

  BRILLIANT!!!! Use your home socket set to good advantage before camping by removing the stabilizers altogether, then this gadget for Mai Tai's and Margerita's (sp?) upon arrival!

  Would this also work for a 2018 T@b 320S?

  I just bought a second crank and sawed off the handle...even though it’s round, it works fine in the chuck of my drill

  Well, I ordered what Verna did and it'll be here tomorrow. I'll let y'all know (those with the 320s like me) if it fits and works!
