Servicing the stabilizer legs on your camper or caravan
is a very simple task and should be done twice a year.
Step 1 – Remove the dust cover to expose the bevel
gears
Step 2 – If they are older and well used its advisable
to degrease the gears to remove any metal or other grit
build up.
Step 3 – Apply a generous coating of grease to the
gears being sure to work it into the grooves of the
teeth.
Step 4 – Replace dust cover.
It’s important to remember that telescopic stabilizer are
purely for keeping your trailer steady. You should never
use them to raise the caravan or camper off the ground
as the roll pins that fasten the gears on the shafts could
break. Never use a rattle gun to raise or lower them,
the impact style of driving will damage the gears and
pins very quickly. A cordless drill may be used but its
important to use once with a clutch setting that can be
set to not over power the gears.
When setting the legs at an angle you should be careful
not to overload them which can lead to bending the
locating pins on the release handle
