Does anyone use stabilizers under their slide out?

makes sense to me.

Hang on for a minute, I have to run out again and see if 2 tires have both gone flat at the same time on the same side while not rolling. :)

I don't buy into the damage from flats idea. Could it happen? Sure it could. Odds are to slim to worry about. I just don't think they are needed or they would come with the unit. Maybe if you had some 200pound kids jumping in them it would help support. I would be more concerned with the fat kids.:D

If you were to go with concrete filled tires, they would be flat free, and much more stable when parked . Really stiff sidewalls would reduce sway while under tow as well.

Win, win, win!:B

The only time I've had two flats on the same side of the trailer, while parked, it was on the non-slide side of the trailer.

Hang on another minute. Let me go check and see why my slide out would move separately from the rest of the trailer.

I quit reading at page 3 and I'll give you my opinion. They are not needed or required. I use them sometimes. Sometimes I don't. I called up Lance and they said it doesn't need the support, but did warn me of the added risk of forgetting they were there and sliding in without removing them. They did not say they would damage my TT just from use.

I notice the trailer does not rock as much while walking around or jumping in or out of the sliding booth. I also put stabilizers on the drop down steps. Again, not required in any way. I simply love the way the trailer will remain steady as a rock while getting in or out of the the trailer. Or even jumping up and down not he steps as I did to show the wife how good they worked. I did it without and then with. Amazing stability. Like jumping on cement.

I'm still worried about 2 tires going flat on the same side at the same time. :)
