Tell you what really helps: Heavy Duty Front and Rear Sway Bars! They improve handling on the road, but that extra roll stiffness shows up big time on the campsite. There are two major brands: Roadmaster and Hellwig. They are the SAME Steel and the SAME specs. Both use hard poly bushings. Difference is you can buy Hellwig for about half the price of Roadmaster.

The solution is best addressed by replacing the original/stock front and rear stabilizer bars with heavy duty versions (also referred to as anti-sway or sway bars) which greatly improve the handling of the rig when driving as well as stabilizing the rig when parked. You can perform THIS SIMPLE TEST to determine if your rig will benefit from heavy duty front and rear stabilizers bars. If so, I'd surely go with the Hellwig brand to save some serious money.
.....the Hellwig sway stablizers make the rig nearly unshakable, even when cleaning the pipes with DW.
If you are determined to bolt-on scissor jacks near the rear of your class C frame, be careful they don't hang down so far that they get damaged when pulling out of gas stations and such where the road has a big dip in it.
