Scissor jacks are the most common stabilizing system found under travel trailers and fifth wheels, providing the corner support that reduces movement and sway once you are parked and set up. When a jack becomes difficult to crank, bends under load, or stops extending properly, replacing it is a straightforward fix that restores a stable and comfortable setup.

Our selection includes scissor jacks from Lippert and Ultra-Fab, available individually and in pairs, with capacities up to 6,500 lbs. We also carry SnapJack upgrade kits for those looking to improve ground contact and stability over their existing scissor jack setup.

Check the capacity rating, travel height, and mounting configuration of your current jack before ordering to confirm the correct replacement for your RV.

What size RV scissor jack do I need?

Match the jack to your trailer's loaded weight and ground clearance. Most travel trailers and fifth wheels use jacks rated between 5,000 and 7,500 lbs per corner, with a closed height that clears the frame and an extended height that reaches the ground on uneven sites. Check the GVWR on your VIN sticker, divide by four for a per-corner working load, and confirm the mounting bolt pattern matches your existing brackets before ordering.

Can I operate scissor jacks with a cordless drill?

Yes. Most RV scissor jacks have a 3/4 inch hex drive at the operating end and can be run with a standard impact driver or 1/2 inch cordless drill using a hex socket adapter. Keep the drill on a lower torque setting to avoid over-extending the jack at full reach, and never use the jacks to lift the trailer off its tires, they are for stabilizing once leveled.

What other leveling and setup gear pairs with scissor jacks?

Scissor jacks handle stabilization, but you'll also want wheel chocks, leveling blocks under the jack feet on soft ground, and the right shore power connection at your site. See our RV plug adapters for 30 to 50 amp conversions, and our RV patio mats for a clean outdoor footprint once you're set up.

How do I maintain RV scissor jacks?

Lubricate the acme screw two or three times per season with white lithium grease or a dry PTFE spray. Wipe road grime off the threads before storage, and inspect the welds at the pivot points for cracks each spring. If you winterize your rig, retract the jacks fully before freezing temperatures arrive; our RV winterizing kits cover the plumbing side of the same seasonal checklist.
