Tripod brace for 5th wheel...really necessary?

Thanks everyone for your responses. We're gonna do 1 week locally so we can clean up the house before the renters come in, so I'll try it without the tripod. If we find that the movement is not an issue, we'll just put the tripod in storage while we're on the road for the year. Movement is not a big issue to me personally, so I'd be willing to trade off a little bounce in the RV over loosing precious storage space.
