wherein each of the jack assemblies comprises a plurality of telescopic members selectively movable between an extended position and a retracted position;
a plurality of controls disposed within a vehicle cabin, wherein the plurality of controls is configured to actuate the plurality of jack assemblies between the extended position and the retracted position;
a display disposed within the vehicle cabin, wherein the display is operably connected to a weight sensor disposed within each of the plurality of jack assemblies to display a weight supported by each of the plurality of jack assemblies;
wherein a width of each telescopic member of the plurality of telescopic members increases in width from a proximal end of the jack assembly to a distal end of the jack assembly;
wherein each of the jack assemblies terminate in a foot member;
wherein a lower surface of the foot member frictionally engages a ground surface when the jack assembly is in the extended position;
wherein the plurality of jack assemblies is operably connected to a hydraulic tank disposed within the vehicle frame, such that the plurality of jack assemblies is hydraulically actuated;
wherein the hydraulic tank is centrally disposed within the vehicle frame;
wherein each of the plurality of jack assemblies are hingedly affixed to the vehicle frame, such that the plurality of jack assemblies selectively moves between a deployed position perpendicular to the vehicle frame and a stored position parallel to the vehicle frame; and
