Default 199DD - Cordless drill for stabilizer jacks?

Does the 199DD have manual stabilizer jacks?
Are there 4?
If I want to use my drill to operate them what size socket is needed?

Thanks!

You will probably only have two in the back.
Best to install two more in the front.
3/4" deep dish socket and a cordless drill.
Please don't use an impact drill.☹️

Use a "U" joint adapter with a 3/4" socket. Set your drill to the minimum torque needed to raise/lower your jacks.

I have a pretty good video on how to do this, I will look for it.

Few pointers
Do not use an impact drill - or turn it off
Keep the threads clean and lubricated
Do not send the them up and down screaming - use a moderate speed
Do not over "jack" , I do the rear 2, then the front 2. And do 1 turn past "tight" <-- ambiguous, I know. But the video shows is well.

I have the 2019 189DD and it only had the scissor jacks in the back and uses the standard size drill adapter for them. I added scissor jacks to the front.

I was so disappointed in the quality of construction of my trailer. When I got it I had a long list of repairs including the screen door not latching at all, staples coming out, wall seam tape not sticking, a bubble in the wall, etc. Mine must have bypassed the QA department completely.
