Is your trailer on concrete at the present time?
You may find that on a grass/dirt site that the rear of the trailer might still move more than you wish.
So, when time permits, I would still install the rears.
We just happen to Snowbird camp on a smallish slab where the rear stabilizers are located well beyond the slab out on the grass.
I think the JT's help a lot in that kind of situation. The same goes for a full grass site.
x2 on the dirt issue. The rears make a difference. Just go out and push the rear corner. It will wiggle. Add the rear JT's and the wiggle will be gone.
Yes....the trailer is in my my driveway....which is flat and level. I did the same push test on the rear of the camper -- and there is slight movement -- but nothing like the front swayed. But you guys have valid points -- and I appreciate the feedback. If we find there is still beyond acceptable movement after our upcoming camping trip, I'll install the rears. It's only two more holes in the frame. Drilling 6 holes yesterday took a while -- but two more won't be so bad -- and drilling through the angle iron will be pretty easy.
