Ok well that is good to know. Wonder why. Is it the hardness of ground?

We used the The Eliminator Strut Stabilizers from Ultra Fab on our last 5th wheel. They worked great. Watch the video on the link. We just received out 303RLS earlier this month so nothing installed yet. I my go with the JT's Strong Arms this time as they are an LCI product being installed on an LCI frame. The triangulation really helps stop the movement.

Sometimes as with fire trucks and safety if you can maintain the contact patch of tires when leveling you will stop any movement.

After doing X-chocks and a Kingpin stand (Which really helped with the washing machine being up front) I have noticed that the most motion is over the rear bumper and would do a bumper brace of some sorts next.

Rear stabilizers work better if you place them on a wooden or concrete block--and don't extend them any farther than you have to.
I still carry my old travel trailer's screw out stabilizers that can be placed into service. I also use the X chocks between the tires.
