Aluminum Camper Forum

Thanks Merlin, I really appreciate your input. I ordered the jacks from E-trailer, and in their review/installation videos they recommended using self tapping screws, which is why I planned on that. And I'm just using them for stabilizing, not leveling. Check out these videos if you get a minute, and I'd love to hear what you think.  Thanks, Tim

Thanks David

I have a 13QBB Livinlite trailer and would like to replace my stabilizing legs with scissor jacks, but the scissor jacks will stick out the side of the trailer pretty far if I mount them in the same spot as the legs. So, I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's ok to mount them directly onto the underside of the aluminum frame by drilling starter holes and then attaching them with self-tapping screws. I know aluminum can be weakened by holes, so I want to do the right thing. It would be four scissor jacks, four small holes each, drilled into the bottom of the frame, in the four corners of the trailer. Any thoughts?
