Raising and Lowering RV Jacks with Ease

Whenever you set up camp, whether it's a travel trailer or a pop-up like this, you definitely wanna put your stabilizing jacks down to not only help level you, but to stabilize it too, to keep it from rocking and rolling. Now, the method that most manufacturers are gonna give you is this old-fashioned crank up style like this. It could take quite a while, especially if you have the bigger, longer jacks. So, some people say that I'm cheating, but here is a much better option. Just get yourself a drill. And I don't like to use the impact style, or the hammer style of this, because I wanna be able to control the speed and not raise it way up or crank it up so it bends it. But you simply get a socket adapter, which you can get at any home improvement or hardware store like this. This happens to be a 3/8 socket that fits that hex down there on it. So all we do is put this in, tighten it up, put it on the retract side. So whether I wanna bring it up at the end of my camping trip, or I wanna put it down. Like I say, that's why it's nice to have a variable speed because you can just kind of do it lightly once it hits. I don't wanna crank it up and get it out of level, but using this is a much better idea than the old crank style.
