Has anyone made their rear stabilizer jacks removable? We scraped coming in our steep driveway the first day. Hubby thinking of undoing the tack weld, and making them boltable on and off.

Add risers instead.  You don't scrape the jacks and the tanks (grey and black) drain easier.

I now have 4 trailer jacks from Harbor Freight.  $30.00 each for a 5,000 pound rated jack.  With these on all 4 corners I can level the camper correctly.  You can't level with stabilizers.

But I agree.  Get the axle risers.
