Trailer Slide Stabilizers
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!

If there is a solid concrete base under the trailer and the frame is suported with actual automotive jack stands, not the scissor jacks that come with the unit, then it is OK to place stands under the slides. I have seen the scissor jacks actually turn backards when being rocked by a person entering the trailer.
I have helped to retract slides that the rails where slightlly bent from jacks and tires going down and the slide did not follow the downward motion, solid base concrete, not pavement, since it is not solid and sinks with wheight.
A concrete pad of a minimum of 5 inches and rebar not concrete blocks since they will sink independent of each other, otherwise forget using the supports they create more problems than what they help.
