How do you guys stabilize your RV's in the campground?

For those of you who don't have built in levelers, how do you stabilize/keep your RV's from swaying while parked in campgrounds?

Appreciate any insight you can provide.

Thank you,

A friend of ours has a new Jayco Greyhawk with auto leveling system and 2 slides. He told me that even with the auto leveling system, he still gets side to side movement.

We also have a Greyhawk without auto leveling system and ours has a lot of side to side movement without using stabilizers. We have a set of these that help to reduce the movement, but they don't completely stop it. I put a 6" piece of 2x6 under the jack which helps to keep them from sinking into the ground.

We camp seasonally for about 4 months in the summer. I generally go around checking that the stabilizers are tight every couple weeks. I put the stabilizers on the body of the Motorhome, not under the frame. Putting them under the frame didn't do much at all. We have two slides, 1 on each side. One is about 10 feet long the other about 14 feet long. We feel the movement most when someone steps into or out of the motorhome or if someone is bouncing around on the couch (on a slide) or one of the kids is bouncing around on their bunk (on a slide).
