Sorry to hear about your problems but you just answered my question for me.
First I don't have an RV yet so those that do will be able to help with how to stabilize it the best but I can explain the why.
We are looking at either the Jay Flight or the White Hawk. The dealer didn't have a White Hawk in stock but had a used 2011 Jay Feather on the lot that had the same floor plan.
First both trailers are level and neither have their stabilizer jacks down. When walking in the Jay Flight that thing was solid. If there was any movement we didn't notice it. With the Jay Feather every step made the trailer bounce. Like you noted the wife was feeling a little sick when she was at the rear of the trailer and the sales rep and I were moving around up front.
Here is what I was told. The White Hawk will be a little better then the Jay Feather but not as solid as the Jay Flight. The reason being is the size tires (14" vs 15")the axles (3000lb vs 3500 lb each) and the suspension.
I was told that once the stabilizer jacks were down the movement would be minimal on both trailers. I questioned to myself on how much movement you would notice and your post confirms there is still the bounce. Looks like we will be going with the Jay Flight.
If this helps you or not I'm not sure but at least you know why it's bouncing the way it is.
