Slide out supports!
2008 Jayco with 2 slide-outs. Are there suppose to be supports under the slide-outs? If so can I make some or is it easier to buy them?
Thanks

I had no idea it posted twice. My internet has been acting weird. So what's up with the comment saying "Stupid, double post" It was not necessary, was it? Just remove the double post like you did one of my posts relating to the comment and move on. Is that so hard. Don't be a bully on the forum. I don't care if you are a senor member. Treat all as equals and don't remove this post. Let others read. Move on.

No, they can do more harm than good and are not recommended by any RV manufacturer that I've ever seen.
I bought a 2013 Keystone with a large side I asked dealer about them and they told me it's personal preference, just to make sure I place them in the right area. A friend saw them and said OMG don't use those. So I called Keystone and they told me they are not needed but they are fine to use as long as you put them in the right place.
Cacoon- You will see them on permanent sites from time to time, but only if the whole frame is jacked up on blocks. Even then, a majority of TTs on seasonal sites do not have supports under the slides.

Correct! I forgot to mention that.
The other problem with them is that if you are on dirt/sand and use supports, when the trailer settles (and it will) the slide out supports will not, resulting in damage. do not use them!- The other problem with them is that if you are on dirt/sand and use supports, when the trailer settles (and it will) the slide out supports will not, resulting in damage. do not use them!

Probably a new Keystone employee.
Seriously, if you use them, you are taking a big risk. As was stated earlier.. A leaking tire could cause the TT to lower while the slide supports are preventing the slide from lowering with it... Really bad news if it happens.
Permanent residence TTs can do this as they usually have the entire frame supported with blocks or stands similar to a mobile home, but not practical for most who use a TT for camping at different sites.ScottG wrote:
