Stop TT from rocking/moving while parked at campsite

+1 for x-chocks. I got some for our new TT and they are a big help.

If the spacing between your tires is between 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 or 3 1/2 and 5 1/2 inches the Camco Wheel Stop will help with the wiggle. Helped mine. Larger spacing will require the X-Chock.

As well put by others, it's a trailer, not a cottage. You are never going to eliminate movement.

I prefer the ONEstep Fastway chock, much quicker and easier to use the the x-chock IMO.

Four stabilizers that if cranked to tight flex the frame and four tires on a 25 ft frame just have a certain amount of flexibility.

We pull in, level the TT, then snug the stabilizers. It is a trailer not a cottage.

Amen!

All very good suggestions on here. I do all of them. A little overboard maybe but it's for the misses. She gets car sick easily and laying in our bed while the kids are moving around on the other end of the trailer doesn't work. So I use x-chocks, steadyfast stabilizers, stair supports, and slide-out supports. Also use 4x4s to chock under the scissor jack's. Put 2 in a "V" shape under each jack, helps with the stability. Note on x-chocks, I used to have the yellow plastic ones and they work, the metal x chocks can get much tighter and do a better job. All said and done, my wife can now sleep without getting "camper sick" haha. Ours is a Keystone Laredo 303TG.

When I had a 33' Keystone TT I re-mounted my jacks about 18" inboard of where they were and mounted another set of jacks in the center of the trailer. I have a high regard for the Steady Fast struts. Metal X chocks but tightened snug, I have heard of folks really cranking those down and ruining a tire. I use 12" X 16" X 3.5" blocks under the jacks. I don't like slide jacks. The above took out 90% of the wallowing around stuff.

Steady Fast; clean, easy and really works. X-chocks too. If we set up for a bit I use support under the slide out and the stairs and this four ton (loaded) Arctic Fox 25Y doesn’t seem to move around at all!

Are yours jacks or an electric stabilizer?......I added a second electic one just ahead of the front axle, use X-Chocks, and JT Strongarms on the front that go front to back and across....4 bars total.......have seen where the strongarms can also be used on the rear with the electric type.......and I have Torkflex steps that have ground contact feet

Hope you never have a tire go down.......

[Bob1340]

I see those slide jacks all the time. I'd be leery about putting them on anything except maybe a permanent parked rig. I know many times if i'm staying a place my rig can and does settle a bit.

If using X chock then after the tires cool down re-tighten them again. BTDT. They will loosen up as the tires cool off.

I don’t think so cause I take all that stuff off when we’re rolling

[Bob_C]

I would hope so.....when you're sit'n still with the slide support in use...is what I was referring to..
