Making my travel trailer stable when parked

Basically, you need more bearing points and things to limit lateral movement. The X-chocks help but likely won't be the drastic change you are looking for. I've often thought of placing bottle jacks under the frame in a few places to see how much of an improvement it makes. Some diagonal bracing to the ground would be ideal to help the lateral movement. In the end I just live with it and remember it's not a house.

I'm about to order a set of these - on sale at Camping World for 19.79 Going to set them up by the wheels on either side

thank you

I tried to copy and paste the one photo. could not figure it out.

Valterra stabilizer

My wife bought one of these, and we have had it in the box in the camper for over a year. I broke it out our last trip and it made a significant difference.

Were gonna buy another one for the back of the camper and possible one for the slide out

Thanks to all who replied. Will try the stabilizer things, we already chock the wheels front, back and in between.

X2 with GaryWT comments. As I have opined previously, unless you are on a concrete pad there will be movement due to the ground (gravel/grass) movement; even a little bit. I'm guessing that a 1/16 inch movement between the jack and the ground could result in movement of the trailer several times that amount.

home make x-chocks

I used pipe clamps.

great parking brake as well

I used 4x6 wood.

Short of putting it up on cement blocks you will get movement, just life on wheels. Items talked about will help some, some more than others, but it will not be perfect.
