Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect replacement part

Exact fit. Installation isn't easy, but it's not particularly difficult. The hardest part for me was loosening the bolts holding the block in place. The manufacturer of my RV, and possibly yours, installed the bolts the wrong way round, ie the bolts were used to secure the jack BEFORE attaching the skin to the RV. The result is that you can't get the bolt out without a lot of rude language, knuckle-scrubbing, and creative physics (which you'll have to do to replace the stand). It is possible, but be prepared for some problems. However, the most difficult aspect of the installation for me was the "fat man through the little door". You access the jacks, at least on my RV, through the front storage door in the RV's belly. Needless to say, that's an odd angle and not a giant hole - then, as mentioned above, you'll have to deal with the screws. However, with a little patience and the right attitude, it is possible. Nothing against this device, it fits perfectly and is easy to use once you have overcome the manufacturer's problems described here. Super expensive RV mobile service, fix your rig. I have actually now had to replace both racks, about 3 months apart, so word of wisdom if you need to replace one, go ahead and just replace both. Also, make sure you choose the right one. There is a difference between leading (with a powerhead attached) and following on the other side.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
