The ARK DDS550 Drop Down Corner Steady is built for convenience and control when stabilising your caravan or trailer at a campsite, rest stop, or driveway. With a practical drop-leg design, it swings into place easily and locks securely, offering dependable stability on soft, uneven, or sloped ground.
The leg features a large flat footplate designed to spread load evenly and prevent sinking into softer surfaces like gravel, dirt, or grass. Thanks to the integrated silencer pads, you’ll also enjoy a quieter towing experience with reduced rattle and vibration noise during transit.
The entire unit is zinc-plated to resist corrosion, making it ideal for both inland and coastal use. When not in use, the foot swivels and locks away neatly, keeping your setup clean and compact.
Important: This product is not intended for lifting or jacking. It is purely for stabilisation when your trailer or caravan is parked.
Key Features:
- Zinc-coated steel body for rust resistance

- Large flat footplate – ideal for soft terrain
- Anti-rattle silencer pads for vibration control
- 550mm max extended length / 400mm retracted

Whether you’re heading off-road or setting up for a weekend escape, the DDS550 gives you peace of mind knowing your trailer will stay steady and quiet on all surfaces.
