Wow, 200 clams for 20 bucks worth of tubing. But thanks for the link, that will be easy to build myself. :)

There is some engineering involved there too. :)
But if you can build it yourself for 20 bucks, more power to you.

My thought as well. We also use the Winfield and like it. Installs in less than 30 minutes with just two wrenches.

Yes, the JT products are nice, but we went with the tripod to save some money for other things as we're getting started. If you're a weekend camper, the tripod is more than sufficient. If you're going to full time or camp quite a bit, get the JTs.

Otherwise, spend the extra money on yourself and get them later if you feel you really need them.

As mentioned it is not for leveling, only for stabilizing. I used one for a year then installed JT Strongarm stabilizers. Much better for eliminating the shakes. Sold the tripod.

Still using the king pin stand I purchased in 2004.

I used a kingpin stand for several years and there is no comparison to JT StrongArms that I put on our 5vr. The StrongArms are far superior. The kingpin stand makes a good boat anchor but not much else.

I threw mine away many years ago. could make a good boat anchor. If you have a rocking problem get J T Stongs or another brand . they WORK and aremoney well spent

If we were to get a new 5er, I'd skip the tripod and use the J. T. Strong Arm product, or something similar.
