slide stabilizers

What would be the best location for stabilizers (Stack jacks probably) under any of the slides? It is hard to tell what is the frame and what is not. How about the actual slide arm? I would think as long as you support it on a flat and nowhere near any of the drive teeth it should be OK.

Thoughts?

    Thoughts............

    Contact the MFG. of your RV and ASK them about using slide out supports


    Just because a product is offered/available via the aftermarket doesn't mean it is required, needed, is an improvement or that it is worth buying. Just means that it is 'for sale'---period.


    Wonder why MFG. didn't include them with the RV :H
  • Never use stabilizers under slides. A little settling of the main stabilizers and/or a flat tire can ruin a slide frame.
  • That would be a perfect place to use them. Love slide supports. I've never had two flat tires on the same side at the same time while not rolling.
