Fifth Wheel Stablizers

[glend]

I have been looking at the JT Strong Stablizers versus the PlugItRight Stablizer. The JTs are more expensive than the latter.
Wondering if anyone has any experience with either system and their thoughts on which one is the better?

I put a pair of the exact thing sold by Camping World (see link below), and overall have been satisfied. I think that I paid $269.00 on sale through the Presidents Club. I have a 29' TT and it did "wiggle" quite a bit. I did however, see someone at a campground put a stabilizer jack under the frame on each side between the wheels. I never thought of that, might could have saved $269.00. After all, I thought that the wheels were the cause of most movement.

Thanks. The wheel stablizers do not resolve the movement action even though they were advertised to do so. I think at best they are brakes/blocks only.

Sorry,
I forgot to put in the other reply that I have the "Eliminator" (The J.T. equivalent). They are actually on sale at C.W.

Here is a better link directly to them at C.W.

I have the JT strong stabilizers on my rig and we are very happy with them. they installed easy would not be with out them.

glend, you're correct. The wheel locks do lock the wheels and stop them from moving. Watch your wheels while having someone walk from one end to the other in your trailer and you'll see why they do work.

I put a set of JT strong on my 2004 Durango 5thwheel they worked made the unit rock solid I would do it all over again

We, too, have the JT's and have been very happy with the way they work. I'm sure the PlugItRight Stabilizers work, too, but we decided on the JT's because they looked beefier. YMMV.

Thanks to all for the comments. All most positive. I have made my order for the stablizers. Now to get them installed will be the next task.

Thanks for the confirmation assistance.

After you are sitting when the wind blows you will really like what the JT Strongarms do for you. chevman

We pull a 38' Alpenlite Fifth wheel.. I notice my 14lb dog shakes the rig worse than we walk .... will the 5th wheel support stop most of this ?

From all the feedback I got from my post,the stablizer bars will stop the 5er movement. I have ordered me a set of the Eliminator Stablizers (copy cat of the JTs, but cheaper).

I have used the king pin stablizer and the wheel lock/stablizers and they helped but for sure don't take off the movement out. My understanding the JTs or Eliminator will resolve the movement issues.

I believe the wheel chock is a good idea to use anyway. I only used one wheel chock sitting for 6 months last winter because I was too lazy to install it after the slide was out. Not much use until the tires cool down because chocks will be very loose. chevman
