Rocking unstable

Have a 2020 jayco white hawk 29BH that will get you seasick when someone walks thru camper,this is 5th trailer we’ve owned and it’s terrible.Chalk wheels let down rear jacks,run front hitch jack down a little and then front jacks to get it stiff,but it seems it moves more end to end than sideways

You could try some x-chocks.
Next step after that is JT Strongarms(I just installed these), steady fast, or lockarm.

X2,

Adding a 3rd set of stabilizers right in front of the axles can help take out bounce. Not so good for side to side motion.

On softer soils I place a 6x12" plywood pad under the stabilizers to spread out the contact force over a large area. After being setup for a few hours or next morning, I tend to go back and tighten up the stabilizers.

If you are not of concrete or a very hard gravel pad I would also expect some subsidence occurs and all the stabilizers should be re-tightened as needed.

I have a white hawk 24rbs with a wide space between the axels. I use a set of FASTWAY chocks that practically eliminate the forward/backward movement. A little clumsy bro use, but work very well.

As others have said buy you some x-chocks. They made a huge difference in our trailer. The other thing I did was to get some wood blocks (6x6) to go under my stabilizer and tongue jack instead of the orange plastic pads. My 32KBS is pretty solid now.

I have a 2006 31 foot and this was my biggest complaint so what I did was build two adjustable tripod type axle stands, lifted with the factory jacks until unit is level then up about two more inches then slid these stands under the frame front and rear fairly close to the factory jacks then let the factory jacks down putting all the weight on the stands. Now my grandkids run and play inside with no movement at all. I could almost fall asleep in the bedroom but my next task will how to keep then from screaming lol

Yep, a combo of those what was said, I have the JT Strongarm, x-chocks, and the tripod for my king-pin and with those it's pretty solid, I would say about 90% solid you want get 100% but you will get use to it.
