Does anyone use stabilizers under their slide out?

My TT has a slide where the kitchen table and couch slide out and I was wondering if I need to be using some type of stabilizer when it is in the out position. If so, which ones are the best without costing a fortune?

  • No they are not required.

    Some use scissor jacks under the trailer frame. You can buy them at a junkyard for about $10. Look for ones with a 3/4" nut to raise and lower them, then get a cordless drill, and use that to put them up and down. This will keep the trailer from swaying side to side.

    Trailer leveling systems are a pair of scissor jacks mounted to a frame, with quick turning handle to deploy them and retract quickly, but the drill is much faster.. .
