Additional Stabilizers for Large Travel Trailer

[philrumming]

Hello:

We have a 2018 Eagle 322RLOK; very long and heavy, measures 38 feet from tip to tip, 9907 lbs. dry.

With the stabilizers ((Lippert, powered) down, we still get a fair amont of rocking when walking in the teailer.

What's the best add on to fix this?

Prefer not to have to drill holes in frame or existing stabilizers.

Google wobble stoppers, lok for the homemade type. They work great.
Also lo ok at Bal tire chocks.
Solved my problems, don't even use the stabilizers any more,

I have manual jacks on my trailer. It is a 32' also much lighter than yours.

I installed an extra pair midway between the existing jacks, which ends up just in front of the axles. It takes out most of the up and down bounce in the middle.

I installed JT Strong Arms on the 4 corner jacks to take out most of the front to back and side to side motion.

I also use x-chocks between the wheels to help with the front to back motion.

These three things have taken out much of the movement while at a campsite. There is still some, but it is not that noticeable. You will never get rid of all of it.

There are a few lower cost items you can start off with.

On soft surfaces, place a large foot under each stabilizer foot. I use 3/4 plywood, cut 6" x 12" (can use under a tire for leveling too). This spreads the weight over a larger surface area on the ground.

A few hours after setting up and the next morning, go around and give your stabilizers a quick adjustment to tighten them back up. Remember these are stabilizers and not levelers. Do not over tighten. Lifting causes a loss of stabilization.

Using a product like X-Chocks between the tires. This device jams the tires and keeps them from wanting to wiggle/roll.

Adding an additional stabilizers. Place one set in front of the axles. This will help take out some of the bounce from frame flex.

The above items are the easy low cost items to start off with. There are other more costly options. Many do require drilling and bolting on accessories.
