Slideout stabilizers?

New to us 2017 23RLSW with small slide, are stabilizers a worthy purchase? Feels firm and rigid to me and being for dinette, not much foot traffic and will typically only be the wife and I. TIA

Bad Idea

If you check your owners manual you will probably see instructions not to use them. Stabilizers under the slides are generally a bad idea as they can cause the equipment to bind when the body of the rig moves in a different direction or amount then the slide. Worst case scenario can result in significant damage to your unit.

Stay as far away from slideout stabilizers as you possible can. At some point they WILL damage your slideout alignment.

Thanks

Sounds like no need, or want, for slide stabilizers
