You're very welcome. We're glad you found the video helpful! That is really good advice. We sell tons of these jacks because people forget to do this... www.etrailer.com/Camper-Jacks/etrailer/TJ01RT-HD.html
Seems like they would control the load better if turned 90 degrees since the "rocking" happens front to back when loading and not so much side to side.
A cool side benefit is you can lower your rear stabilizers, then raise your tongue jack slightly to prevent your tires from getting flat spots during long periods of storage.
You should be okay as long as the loaded trailer weight doesn't exceed the capacity of the stabilizer jacks and the jack on your trailer tongue, however the stabilizer jacks aren't really meant to do that. www.etrailer.com/Camper-Jacks/etrailer/TJ01RT-HD.html
Looks good for smaller trailers. Especially for tear drops and camp kitchen builds. I would definitely go with a locknut and bolt setup with lock washers. I'm not a fan of self tappers, especially in places that would have that much movement.
You can, but you'll want to isolate the steel stabilizer jack from the aluminum trailer frame to avoid galvanic corrosion. Nylon fender washers would work well to prevent the two dissimilar metals from touching. www.etrailer.com/Camper-Jacks/etrailer/TJ01RT-HD.html
Don’t forget to retract them before you take off!
Thank you for the video!

You could definitely use bolts and nuts to secure these stabilizer jacks to a trailer.
