My TT - Love & Hate relationship

34ft Palomino Sabre 31qbds

Love the floor plan

Hate that it bounces & shakes

I have used the x-chocks on both sides. I have attempted to use stablizer manual jacks on the slide out sides.

It has electric jacks & they stink. Would switching to manual scissor jacks help? Could I install scissor jacks & use both?

    One thing that might help is to use a scissor jack under one of the axles. I have a 35 ft TT and have had the same problem and explored options on the Forest River forum, where I got the idea of the scissor jack there. Seems to be a problem on the very long trailers like yours and ours. The jack helps quite a bit.

    I use these jacks from walmart..

    I lower the front of the TT as low as it can go then place two jacks on the rear frame. Then I lift the front up to just above level then place two on the front frame. Then lower.. All four corners are now fully supported..

    I get zero bounce and shake. ( I support on Wood blocks )
