Has anyone used Stabilizers for their slide outs? We are thinking about purchasing some via Amazon for a long term Trailer setup. Any recommendations, opinions, suggestions, etc. welcome!
When I was learning how to stabilize my trailer, everything pointed to avoiding the slide out stabilizers. My understanding was they were marginally effective, and posed a major risk. If the tires lose pressure and sink the trailer, the slide could be damaged. I suppose if they made the trailer rock solid the risk may be worth it, unfortunately they don't.
I ended up going with JT Strong arms, and was really happy with them. Any of the systems that lock up the four corner stabilizers are well thought of. It becomes a matter of cost, but I'd stay away from slide stabilizers.
