Motor home Jacks

I have a 2005 Monaco Diplomat
It has on jack on the front
Does anyone know if there is a upgrade or retro fit for 2 jacks on the front

Does your current system work properly? I have a 2007 and have been quite happy with the three Jacks when everything works.
Good luck on your project and keep us informed

Anything is possible with enough money. What problems are you having?



But Monaco used a 3 jack system to help prevent body twist when leveling. Correct procedure is to lower the front jack first and raise the front of the motorhome ~3/4". Then use the rear jack to level the coach side to side while leveling the coach.

You're going to crack a windshield at best, at worst you'll damage the coach body. Leave it as it was built.

Your coach was designed for a tripod system. If you want a four jack system, (1) it will probably mean replacing all jacks and control system, (2) you'd be 'on your own' since you'd likely have a system no-one else has.

For the twist and windshield issue I always level mine manually
Lift with the front jack first. If any one or two tires are pretty low I'll drive up lumber.
