Stabilizing a Class A with no Jacks

A good friend of mine just purchased a 1993 Fleetwood Coronado 28 foot Class A motorhome. It is in Excellent condition and drives and rides like a big SUV.
This model did not come with hydralic jacks but with the help of a LEVEL PRO app and modgel he has no problem getting it level pretty quick.
His problem is stablelizing it so it doesn't rock n roll when walking around inside. I suggested getting some screw jacks to place under the frame once level but he dosen't like that idea because it's too hard on his knees to get down and under the MH to set them up.
I told him I would run this by you guys to see if there was any ideas out there.

All input appreciated

A friend of mine did that with an older model Winnebago Brave. He bought two pairs of electric RV frame jacks with remote controls. Similar in looks to these https://www.etrailer.com/Camper-Jack...SC-24-IND.html but with remotes and electric actuator motors.

I welded scissor jacks at all four corners. I used an 18 volt drill with an extension to operate them up and down. Worked like a charm on the old Pace Arrow.

Travel trailer electric stabler jacks if they are not going to lift the weight of the motorhome.

Or something like this for individual corners.
