The Camco Eaz-Lift 48850 is a purpose-built stabilizing jack designed to support and steady the front end of fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers while parked. By bracing the trailer tongue or gooseneck coupler against the ground, it dramatically reduces the rocking and swaying that makes life inside an unhitched trailer uncomfortable. With a 7,500 lb maximum load capacity and a wide 30" to 44" height adjustment range, it fits a broad variety of trailer heights and works on both level pads and uneven ground.
When your trailer is unhitched and parked, any movement inside -- walking, shifting weight, opening cabinets -- transfers directly to the front end as vertical bounce and side-to-side sway. The Camco 48850 places a rigid support point under the gooseneck or fifth-wheel coupler area, distributing that load into the ground and keeping the nose of the trailer planted.
This jack is especially valuable for extended stays, full-timers, and anyone who regularly leaves the trailer unhitched at a campsite or storage yard. It works alongside your existing tongue or landing jacks -- it is a stabilizer, not a primary lifting device.
Rated for front-end loads up to 7,500 lb -- handles the tongue weight of most fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers without flexing.
Wide adjustment range covers most unhitched trailer heights. Spin the adjustment collar to dial in the right contact height.
Three-leg tripod base spreads the load over a wider footprint, resisting tip-over on soft or uneven ground better than a single-column design.
Part of Camco's Eaz-Lift towing and stabilizing lineup, a trusted name in RV hitch and leveling accessories for decades.
The 48850 is the right tool if you own a gooseneck or fifth-wheel trailer that sits unhitched for days or weeks at a time. Common users include:
Position the jack beneath a solid structural point near the front of the trailer -- typically under the gooseneck coupler or the trailer's front frame rail. Extend the height adjustment until the pad makes firm contact with the trailer structure, then lock it in place. The tripod base keeps the assembly upright while the load transfers through the jack column and out through the three feet to the ground.
Use a base pad (sold separately) under the feet when setting up on grass, gravel, or soft soil to prevent the feet from sinking and losing the stabilizing contact point.
The Camco 48850 is designed to stabilize and support an already-level trailer -- it is not intended to lift or level a trailer from a fully collapsed position. Always use your trailer's primary landing jacks or tongue jack to achieve level before deploying this stabilizer.
The 48850 is compatible with fifth-wheel trailers (king-pin style) and gooseneck trailers (ball-coupler style). The wide height range accommodates the different hitch heights common between the two configurations. Verify your unhitched front-end height falls within the 30" to 44" adjustment range before purchasing.
