Anyone ever suffered from motion sickness while parked in an unsupported travel trailer? I think that I may have. Here in South Texas with a 25-40 mph breeze blowing against the side of my trailer, it rocked and rolled all night, leaving me with the symptoms of motion sickness.I know the comedians in the group are ready to pounce on this, but I am serious.

I believe this was discussed in a song, if the trailers a rockin don't come a knockin.Sorry.

Why no stabilization?Anytime you trick the inner ear you can become sick with motion sickness. Car, trailer, boat, it doesn't matter. I always have my stabilizer jacks down so no motion sickness for me ever in my TT.

Find some Dramamine.... I have suffered motion sickness all my life it seems.... Dramamine or Bonine will help

Put the jacks down even if still connected to tow vehicle.

Some people are far more sensitive to movement than others and can really be a problem at times. I would recommend adding additional stabilization and using it anytime you set up for the night. Only takes a very few minutes to set them.

Stabilizers are important for stability of the unit, I always use mine (all 4)
and I usually use sand pads under the feet. Motion sickness is no fun, I have seen a few cases in my day (22 in the Navy riding destroyers)and some swore they would have to get better to die.

I guess there is still a few of us around that know the ginger remedy for motion sickness. ;)

ARE YOU SURE IT'S NOT CARBON MONOXIDE, the symptoms can be similar. The US Coast Guard did a study and found some boaters aren't seasick, they're being exposed to Carbon Monoxide from boat exhaust. And I'm NOT JOKING....

Some Transderm - Scolomine patchs may also help )( RX only)
