Abstract
A foldable fifth wheel trailer stabilizer device is disclosed. The device is attached to the trailer's king pin box and features two telescoping legs with adjustable knobs for length adjustment. The legs are equipped with chains for added support and are complemented by adjustable supporting members on the king pin box for support when folded and are not in use. In one embodiment, the device includes an additional telescoping leg connected to a horizontal member that spans the first and second legs. The additional leg is also adjustable in length and can be secured with chains for further support. The device is adaptable to various trailer heights and can be easily folded for convenient storage and transportation.
