5th Wheel and Slider Stabilizer Experience

Is the Steadyfast system for auto level (without foot plates) compatible with RV SnapPads? I looked on their website but didn’t find any mention one way or the other.

Call them. The owner actually answers the phone.

I understand that a 5th wheel king pin stabilizer, like this one on Amazon, are not "essential", but what are your thoughts on their use for weekend warriors? How would you rate such a purchase on a scale of 1-overkill?

I'm pulling a Reflection 295RL and am curious if slide out stabilizers, like these on Amazon, would help with longevity should the wife and I decide to go full time?

If somebody is using or has used these, could you share a little of your experience?

We purchased one a few years ago. Unless we are staying for a week or more we don't use it. Even when we do use it, it is not installed until the 2nd day. Just to allow the 5th wheel to stabilize and we don't tighten it up really tight. Just use it to stop some of the bounce when we're walking around in the master bedroom.
