I have a 36-foot TT. When I set it up the trailer, it moves a lot. I have noticed that the stabilizers have a lot of flex in them. I am looking at the power twin stabilizers. Has anybody used them?  |

My experience is that the best jacks for eliminating bounce are scissor jacks, hydraulic jack systems, and screw jacks like the front jacks on 5th wheels. However, all of those allow sideways and front to back motion. Using the previously mentioned jacks with a bracing system is going to eliminate the most rock and roll. See pictures of a bracing system installed on the Power Twin jacks at http://www.steadyfast.com/gallery.html Look at the Cypress 5th wheel Trailer.

The best thing I have found are rotochocks. They ratchet tightly between the tires and virtually eliminate the forward and back motion. Side to side motion will have to be controlled with jacks.
