Do you all recommend the Slide Out Stabilizers?I never used them on my last trailer, but it was only a 2' Slide out and only had a couch on it. My new trailer has a large slide with couch and dinette.I have some friends that swear by them. They use one on the slide out and the other under the door entrance. Other Family and Friends that tell me they might be nice, but not necessary.I have 2 slides but one is my kitchen... would I be better to use the stabilizer on the kitchen (inside has TV and Fireplace) or better to use at the Entrance since that is used several times every day.

Check with your manufacturer but most recommend against it. The reason being if the trailer settles a bit with stabilizers under the slides, it can cause alignment and sealing problems.

Most manufacturers say not to use them. Did one come with the TT?

If you have a flat while it's stablized, it could do some damage to that slide.I believe the Mfr's have built them to withstand a normal amount of weight. I know mine has some huge supports under it.
