Trailer bounce is due to rubber tires and suspension. Stop them from moving and bounce goes away.
Off topic: 'calamus' might want to rethink those braces your sing on slide outs.
Haven't heard of any mfg. that recommends them. They can cause more damage to slide outs then any stabilizing you may feel.

Couple of jacks on frame front or rear of tires works pcm1959 wrote:
I used to have one and it does help. A bit of a pain to use and sometimes could not use it due to the angle I may be parked on. t dos nothing for wiggle in the rear - only the front. I finally sold it and got the SteadyFast stabilizer system and love it. Super eeay to use, you can always use it, nothing under your fifth wheel overhang to be in the way robbing you of space for bikes, etic. Once installed it is always there and usable. It takes about a minute to "deploy". Phillip

Same here I notice more out of the slide braces but only set that stuff up if staying for more than a couple of days. I notice the most difference when the kids are bouncing around the camper.
