How do you stabilize your Class C when parked for camping?

Kind of funny you ask. When we first got our RV, the advice I read was to buy a set of scissor jacks and use them under the rear frame when parked in camp. Some folks even soldered them to the frame and used a drill and bit that fits the crank to raise and lower them more easily.
I bought a set and brought them along and used them a time or two, but they were too much trouble to set up and take down and we don't mind the motion inside our small C. Rocking is most noticeable for us when someone is using the stairs to get in the door which is in the rear of our rig. Just walking around inside does not create enough motion to bother us.
Try nothing and if you can't get used to the parked motion of your rig, you can buy the scissor jacks pretty reasonably.

Agree my E450 is very solid and do not use any stabilizer jacks. Like Sam says different people may feel motion others miss. I have noticed setting parking brake eliminates some motion front to back. There is always a little roll in drivetrain if in Park so parking brake helps this.
Will Notice a little motion when we have had two teenagers sleeping in the bunk but again the parking brake dampens most of that.
Suggest you try it and see how sensitive you are. The motion is Nothing like a trailer shakes. Have only wanted leveling jacks when more than 3 boards are needed under tires to level unit.

Do different manufacturers use different suspensions ?
Because my 28' Winnebago is just the opposite.
Really good ride going down the road but rocks a little when sitting.
Or maybe it is mostly different perception by the owners.

I don't. I can life with what little movement I feel. Compared to a similar size TT, a C motorhome is built on a much sturdier frame, and has much more mass compared to the mass of people moving around inside. 200-300 pound guy rolling around in the overhead bunk can make things move, probably still would if you put down scissor jackes at the corners or used leveling jacks to lift the frame off the wheels.

Ours is already "stable" the minute we park it at a campsite.

The question was about STABILITY, not level.

Unless your level would be WAY off, I wouldn't think that any kind of leveling blocks that go under the tires would help with the stability any at all.

That's what I got and found that it by itself does little to nothing useful. It goes under the back bumper easily......but I haven't found a good place near the front to put anything.

I pull a trailer and find that putting a little upward pressure on the back by screwing down the tongue jack does about as much good.

Our Super Class C comes with them standard so we are going to have them. Also our chassis on the new rig has rear air ride suspension on it so we might have some movement on the air bags when parked.

We had them on our DP class A years back but never had them on any of our Class C before but none of them had air ride suspension like the DP and our new rig. We'll see when we pick it up in about a month.

"Cleaning the pipes" good one!
