Stabilizing a 5th Wheel
We bumped up from a TT to a 5th wheel in 2004. My old trailer was solid as a rock! We have a tripod for the front, but seldom ever used it. We have now bought a 2016 Wildcat and I can't get it stab...

We started with nothing more than the stabilizers, which resulted in lots of movements. We then added JT strongarms, which helped a whole lot. After that, we replaced the rear stabilizers because they had gotten flimsy. Went with an upgraded scissor track vs. the old ones. That helped a lot too. Then one day I was at Camping World and found the BAL wheel chocks/lock as mentioned above on clearance for half off. We use those as well now, and that helps a lot too.
Point is that after using all 3 of these measures, we now have a very stable rig. I'm not interested in doing anything further, such as a tripod.
