We know quite a few fellow RV'ers who seem happy with their tri pod. For me, as a fulltime RV'er that system just didn't work. We still had way too much movement when someone was walking around inside, we had to put it up and take it down each time we moved and we had to find a place to store it when traveling. Plus ours was very heavy. The only thing Dutch felt was good about it was that he didn't bang his head on the pin box. We have had our permanently installed front and rear stabilizers on our Carriage for almost 9 years. For us it was just what was needed. No more complaining about movement from me has made Dutch a happy camper. Of those we know who switched to a permanently installed stabilizer system they say they would never go back. Let us know what you decide. Hugs, Di
