It is important to realize, that your TT can only be as solid as the ground it is sitting on.
What this means is that a method such as using the JT strong arms etc, can work great.... IF you are on a solid surface such as a concrete or asphalt slab.
If you are on a surface that is not so solid, then settling will occur. If the settling is severe enough... Then frame racking will occur.
If you do not use the JT strong arm system etc, and instead use the power stabilizing system that maintains equal pressure, then such settling will NOT cause frame racking.
The bottom line is that these TTs are meant to travel. Some movement when parked is inevitable. For a solid TT needs a solid foundation. That probably won't happen all of the time.
Attempting to make it happen, and racking the frame doing so..... Should be avoided.
