Stabilizer jacks for Bambi II

[PA BAMBI II]

Greetings,

I am looking to get away from the tripod crank type jacks I currently use (tedious and take up a lot of space in the storage compartment) and go to permanently installed crank-down jacks. These from VTS were originally on my radar, but seem to be overkill for such a small trailer (And they are PRICEY):

Looking closely now at these BAL tent trailer/small trailer jacks which should be more than sufficient and come in packs of two and much cheaper:

What among my Bambi brethren has been done before? What have you used?

Thanks for any feedback...

Ben

I certainly hope that I am not bombarding you with boring questions, but did you end up using these stabilizers from Amazon? Did you also buy the pads?
Thanks

Hi Ron. No problem at all. Let's go camping sometime and get these Bambi IIs together!


I definitely used the BAL tent trailer jacks available on Amazon and LOVE them! They were a fantastic addition to the Bambi II and make set up much nicer.


I did have to add some structure (a piece of angle iron was welded in crosswise between the main frame rails) to give something to bolt the rear of the jacks to. I think I did this in the front. The frames are pretty basic and structural members are few and far between on these tiny Airstreams.
