Trailers rocking?
When we walk around in our 303 it feels like I am hauling cattle again. What's the best way to keep RV from rocking???? JT Strong Arms? Any advice?

I would first use the metal "X" chocks to lock up the tires. Then Strong Arms would be second on the list.
And if you put concrete blocks or tall wood blocks under the rear stabilizers, they'll be more stable than if you extend the arms all the way to the ground.

Dirtcclod--we have JTSA on ours (front and back) and we notice hardly any movement even with several people inside and moving around. Have not held a dance party yet to test to fullest but I suspect no problem !

A vote for SteadyFast stabilizers...our 337 is the second camper they have been on. The nice thing about their system is that it's only 3 arms to tighten for the whole thing. All of the aftermarket systems are reported to work well...your choice.

X chocks and JT strong arms. If you are staying put and not traveling cinder block piers under the landing gear and rear stabilizers to make them extended as short a distance as possible works even better. I tried the king pin tripod and returned it. All I noticed for that was an added tripping hazard. Nothing will make it completely rock solid unless you jack up the entire coach to where the tires are off the ground and put the frame on blocks. With these having a sealed belly doing that even for one that stays put would damage the underbelly.

We use the tripod stabilizer that fits under the hitch pin. Eliminated 90% of the movement. Most cost effective way to go.

We've have the best luck with the X wheel chocks. The tripod stabilizer didn't really make much difference for us. I think two x-wheel chocks is going to be sufficient for us in the long term.
