Step Stabilzers?

We got tired of the TT rocking when someone was entering or exiting. I purchased 2 step stabilizers that I could mount in the corners of the bottom step. I actually haven't mounted them to the steps yet. I used them 2 weeks ago and simply placed them under the steps. They did a great job even though they were not physically mounted on the steps yet. They did fall down here and there but that was to be expected since they weren't mounted.

Does anyone else use something like these? We got the ones that have the clip so that it can be safely stored in itself while in travel. The only problem is that our bottom step is in a vertical position when traveling so a bungee wrapped around the step would most likely be in order to keep the stabilizer more secure.


  • Where did you find yours? Looks like a great idea.. My TT has main door very near the back end and I too feel the motion from someone going up or down.. The flex is enough that I have to adjust the stabilizer on that corner almost daily, especially if I have guests.
  • I use two of these under the center step. If your bottom step flips up over the center step for storage, placing a brace under it will only help when someone is standing on the bottom step. As they move to the second or third step, the bottom step with the supports under it will just swivel up and the motion and stress will still be transferred to the trailer.

  • I made one and they work great. When the steps are opened, the is a lot of cantilever effect. I am sure it will save you repairs down the road.
