Best way to stabilize 40' travel trailer from shaking

New 40' travel trailer coming on our seasonal site. What is the very best way to block it up so it doesn't shake when you walk through it? This unit will not be moved except perhaps once per year....

Easiest way. Put jacks on both sides (fore, and aft)of the tires, and take the weight slightly off the suspension. If any weight is left on the suspension. It will still bounce.


ALMOST 100% correct, but 99% of your suspension bounce is removed when you take a little more weight off the suspension than what the weight from any occupants are inside. You don't really have to remove "ALL" the weight off the suspension.
