Camco Eaz-Lift 48867 Adjustable RV Slide-Out Support

If you've ever felt your fifth wheel or travel trailer shift when you walk across an extended slide-out, you already know why a support like this earns its spot in the storage bay. The Camco Eaz-Lift 48867 is a single adjustable slide-out support built to take the bounce and flex out of a room once it's run out. You slide it under the outer edge of the slide, adjust it to height, and it holds steady. Simple job, done right.

Here's the thing to understand up front. This is a support, not a jack. You're not cranking it up to lift the slide-out or level the rig. You run the slide all the way out first, then set the support snug underneath so it carries some of the load and kills the movement. Trying to use it as a lift will do more harm than good, and it can stress the very slide mechanism it's supposed to protect. Set it firm, not forced, and it'll do exactly what you want.

The height adjusts anywhere from 19 inches collapsed to 47 inches extended, so it covers most travel trailer and fifth wheel slide heights without any fuss. A tethered quick-release pin sets the rough height in locked increments, then the threaded rod handle lets you dial in the last bit of snug contact. The pin stays tied to the support, so you're not crawling around in the gravel at a campsite looking for a dropped pin in the dark. We've all been there.

It's rated to support up to 5,000 pounds, which is plenty for any residential-style slide loaded down with a sofa, a slide-out kitchen, or a full bedroom wall. The top is a universal fit, so it seats against the underside of most slide-out floors and rails without needing a special adapter or bracket. And everything's built from rust-resistant steel, so it holds up to seasons of setup and teardown, road spray, and damp campgrounds without flaking out on you.

One thing worth planning for: this listing is a single support, sold one at a time. A short, light slide might only need one at the outer corner. A long, heavy slide, or a wide-body fifth wheel room, usually wants one at each end to really settle it down. If you already know you need a pair, grab two, or look at the two-pack version. Buying singles just lets you match the count to your rig instead of paying for hardware you won't use.

Setup takes about a minute per support once you've done it a time or two. Extend the slide, stand the support under the outer edge, pull the pin and raise the inner tube until the top just meets the floor, drop the pin into the nearest locked hole, then snug the threaded handle by hand. That's it. When you're ready to travel, back the handle off, pull the pin, drop the tube, and it collapses back down to 19 inches for easy storage in a bay or a basement compartment. The space-saving handle folds in so it isn't catching on everything else back there.

For anybody who spends real time parked, a good slide support is one of those cheap upgrades that makes the whole rig feel more solid underfoot. Less bounce when you're moving around inside. Less stress on the slide rails and the seals over the long haul, which is the kind of wear you don't notice until it costs you. It's the sort of thing you set up once at the site and forget about until you pull out. And with the packaging labeled in both English and French, it's ready for campgrounds on either side of the border.
