When we were full-timing in a 32 foot 5er I had a steel tripod stabilizer.
IMO, it did two things; it helped stabilize the trailer, and it kept me from banging myself on the pin box when I walked by.
I also carried two orange plastic traffic cones that I set under the bedroom slide to remind me that it was there, and keep me from walking into the corner or it(that HURTS!!).
Yes, carrying the things and setting the things in place was a nuisance.
Yes, the things took up space in the basement.
Yes, the tripod was heavy. The cones, not so much.
HOWEVER, they did what they were being carried for!
Having them was worth it, IMO.
