Slide-out jack stabilizers. Good or bad?
I'm wondering about the use of slide-out stabilizers. Will they bend the slide-out supports over time?

I don't know that I would go that far since stabilizers like JT Strongarms work very well and they mostly don't come factory installed.
JT's are for stabilizing the trailer from movement while walking inside the trailer. I've never had a slide out that wobbles uncomfortably that needs further stabilizing. If it is not sturdy enough to handle people sitting at the table then I'd opt for a different RV made better!
Slide stabilizers can easily add unwanted stresses to the slide since the trailer can settle, bounce etc and the slide would not be able to move with it. Especially true if a tire decides to leak. I've only seen stabilizers used on rather old trailers on rare occasions.
