My Eagle Has The 'Shakes' While Parked. Help?

[deerhuntr]

I was just wondering if there was a quick fix to the shaking of the camper when we move around while parked. I have the front tripod which works super fine but the original crank downs in the back allows movement. It is not a lot of movement but noticable when one is sitting and someone is moving around.
If I could get better stability in the rear I feel that all the 'shakes' would disappear. I thought of installing crank downs out on the ends of the bumper but looks and added weight has kept me from trying it. Would stability bars from frame to crank downs work? Maybe a couple chunks of 6x6 cut to height and let the weight down on them? I don't know, maybe I should just put up with it.

Try some X chocks between the tires and a pair of stack jacks just in front of the front tires under the frame.

X2. The X-chocks really work, and reduce the shaking about 75% or more.

x3 X-chocks work great in reducing the shakes, cant eliminate all of it but greatly reduces it.

I installed the SteadyFast system but its not the quick fix you are looking for and not cheap. Put them on my former 2011 Keystone Raptor 5'er toy hauler and more recently on a 2011 Jayco Pinnacle we purchased. Cost is around $300 and you might get free shipping. Customer service from the owner Paul is the best. Set up at camp will take about 30 seconds and the shaking will be good. I believe the web site is steadfast.com or just do a google search.

Good luck.

I use these:

Half the price of X-chocks, and you can set them up by hand.

Agree with the X Chocks

No matter how I put my jacks down, I still had the shakes In my 321 RL TS Eagle Premier. Finally decided that it was not shaking as much as it was bouncing. I had a pair of scissors jacks that I put under the frame in front of the wheels. This eliminated about 95% of the bounce. It worked so well that I mounted them permanently on the frame. Now all I have to do to lower them is get my drill and run them down. Problem solved. My experience with scissors jacks on the rear of your unit has always been bad. Never could get the shaking out of it. I have been told that mounting stabilizer bars on the rear scissors jacks will help

best money you can spend.We have these on our 321RLTS.I also changed the pads on the rear jacks to match the front.
Tjhere is also a brand JT STrongarm but dont know anything about them.Steadyfast is family owned and ran.

I agree with the X-chocks. Question for anyone - I bought and installed one X-chock and it works okay. Would buying and using a second X-chock significantly help? Thanks.

We had the same problem in our 2011 and 2012 365BHS. Increased the height of my front and rear blocks so the leveling legs and rear stabilizer jacks didn't have to extend more than a few inches and installed JT Strong arms, which eliminated all the sway, but not the bounce. Finally, I bought an additional pair of crank down scissor jacks and have the passenger side mounted slightly in front of the front axle, and the drivers side slightly behind the rear axle. Now we can pretty much dance inside our 375 BHFS without any noticeable movement. Note: I also have a tripod stand as well as homemade wheel chocks...

i installed the steadyfast system on ours only took couple hours to install , totally stopped the trailer from shaking

[dirtyrims]

I tried chocks, jacks , tripod, all a waste of time and money. I put on Steadyfast now it doesn't move at all. Best money spent so far on the Jayco HT.
