What wiggles? My jacks don't seem to bend, flex, or wiggle. Certainly the brackets don't bend, flex or wiggle. Nor do the sides of my camper. I would guess you are bending the wooden frame of your camper. That may not be a great idea.
It's very simple: I push on my camper while it sits on the jacks, and it moves/sways/swings/wiggles in the direction I push it. Pushing with all my strength, I can get maybe 1-1/2", enough to clear a 2x4 on edge. The jacks flex; they can't help but flex, and maybe the camper frame does too, but there is no way I can push hard enough by hand to cause any damage.
