    There's no realistic options, the devices like the JT Strongarm are the only types that really work. The tripod only works to take up storage space. I've used both and, IMO of course, the tripod is pretty useless.

    I saw a lot of the king pin tripods 10 years ago. I hardly ever see them used today. Wonder where they all went??

    On our 226RK the tripod stabilizer makes a pretty significant improvement in how much it moves around. It is a rather light unit so a person moving around in the upper portion does cause a lot of movement of the RV.
