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

I have a tripod brace to put under the kingpin on my 5th wheel to minimize bounce while walking inside the RV bedroom. Is it really needed though? My 5th wheel is fairly long (about 36ft) and we're heading out full-time this well. Space is limited since we'll be bringing a decent amount of stuff. I'm trying to shed unnecessary stuff in preparation for heading out and the tripod takes up a lot of space in the basement. Curious what the community's opinion is on this matter.
