Well I liked penguin's idea of the scissor jacks so much I picked up a set for myself. Unfortunately, though, I can't mount them where he has his mounted: My sewer hose storage thingy is there (as illustrated in the 2nd post in this very thread LOL).
Crawling around underneath the Axis today I think I'm going to try to get them mounted on the frame rails about a foot in front of the rear axle and maybe each on an angle (instead of each pointing straight out). I figure having them on an angle from each other will increase the stability.
I don't have the required skills to fabricate something for them to mount to so I'll have to get that done (We store it on the out-lot of an auto-restoration company that discovered they can make a lot of $$ by working on all the campers stored there--I'm going to start with them to see if they will do the work).
I like the idea of dropping the jacks down to give the RV some stability so it doesn't bounce around so much when people are walking around (or tossing & turning during the night). In addition, its far less expensive than a set of hydraulic levelers.
Probably won't have an update on this for a while though as I figure out how to get them installed.
