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.
