5th. Wheel Stablization

We own and live full time in our new Columbus 383FB with the 6 point leveling system. My question is does anyone also use a king pin tri-pod stabilizer or some other form to reduce the amount of movement in the trailer when parked.

    I will have to look into those. I didn't know they had some that would work with the hydraulic leveling system. Would be nice to have permanently attached and not another item to stow away!


    They =are= attached. Base bolts to frame, other end pins to the landing gear and/or stabilizer. You loosen the tension screw, move your legs/jacks, tighten the tension screw. Works the same in both directions. Simplified? Yes, but it gives you the picture.

  • Buddy of mine had JT's on his Cedar Creek w/ the 6 pt level up. Said it worked well. Our Big Country has some wiggle w/ the 6 pt, but don't feel it's as bad as we had on old coach before we installed the JT's.
