Making parked camper more stable

The investment in the ratchet strap and eye bolts was under $5.

Lumber is all around us! (there is always a woodworking project at home)



No wobble at all now. None. Zumba!!

I have this too on our 28rbks and everyone who sees it at the campground makes them. It just flat out works!

This is on my to-do list.

Another vote for these.

Having the tires well-chocked as well as X-Chocks got rid of most of the front to back, but side to side was still bad, especially when we were in the bed hanging off the back of the trailer and the kids were squirming around in the bunks in front.

Adding these really cut down the side to side shaking...

We use a combination of things.
X-chocks to stop front to back roll. (These barely fit an Eagle HT with 16" tires)



Telescoping jacks under the axles to stop the suspension from doing it's driving job.



Lippert Step Above to keep bounding down the stairs from the diving board bounce.



While I like the idea of The Rock, I know I would kick it fiddling around the camper.

I have 10 points of stabilization on my camper. 4 electric stabilizer jacks, 2 manual scissor jacks that I installed to the frame amidship and I use 4 of the screw up telescoping jacks. 2 under the rear bumper and 2 up front on the frame. I also use x-chocks and added these to my steps.

Pretty solid.

Where'd you find those for the steps?

They did require a little modification as the 8.5'' screwed in length was a little to long from the bottom of the bottom step in my application but may not in yours. Good thing is they are adjustable.

Thank you. Has to be easier than the 2 pieces of wood with an adjustable pipe I have mounted between them.
