Side to side movement when parked
We've begun to spend months in our TT and are wondering how stable it should be. It's a little over 9000 lbs. loaded up, about 37 feet ball to bumper with about a 33 foot box.
I've got the four stabilizers set on blocks of special RR ties, larger than the usual size so they aren't stretched out a lot. I added two adjustable stabilizers, the screw up/down type, under the frame. They aren't real tight but should help a bit.
Sudden movements inside, like the dog jumping off the bed, cause the trailer to move a bit left to right. I pushed the body sideways from the outside at a rear corner and there was a little movement.
None of this is excessive, but maybe it should be more solid. Is all this normal, or is there something I can do to make it more stable?
Would it help to set the A frame on blocks and not rely on the jack when parking for an extended time?
