Stabilize camper with truck camper jacks?
The recent thread on stabilizing a class C got me thinking. The stabilization systems are very expensive to buy and install. I used to have 4 electronic jacks on my truck camper that were very easy to...

As long as you don't try to use the jacks for lifting/leveling, if you can mount them securely, the idea should work for mild stabilizing.
Another option could be to mount a pair of swing-up, boat trailer style, tongue jacks, one at the end of each rear frame rail (remove bumper and build a heavier duty one to mount the jacks to). Same could be done up front, except mount them on extensions, to each side of a front receiver hitch.
Screw-type scissor jacks under the frame rails could be another option, like travel trailers use for stabilizing.
