Camper can suddenly shakes when parked
I have a 2003 Chinook Concourse. Yesterday when I was in the cabin area, it started noticeably shaking when parked and not running. Whether it was the wind or a truck driving by, it shook a little bit...

If it sways when you move around inside, when you're stopped and a vehicle passes close by, or you're parked and gusts of wind bounce it around... heavy duty aftermarket sway bars will help a lot. A good tip to notice if bars will help is to see how much you push the entry step down when you get in. That assumes the entry door is on the side. A rear entry door won't show that.
I put front and rear Hellwig bars on ours, looking for better tracking and steering on the road. They accomplished that, but the first thing I noticed was when I got in after doing the job. I was like "WOW - Step doesn't push down!"
Coach is as stable with the bars as it was before when I had the hydraulic leveling jacks down.
Don't overinflate your tires but be sure they're not soft. I don't think shocks'll help much. They respond to a jolt more than a push.
Sway bars are the only mod I'm aware of that helps stability both parked and in motion.
