Stabilizers

You can try adding a set of jack in front of the axles. Get a set from a junk yard or cheap Harbor Freight ones and bolt them on. You can also try a set of Stack Jacks if you want something more portable. On the longer trailers this works really well to take out that mid trailer bounce.

Also make sure you're chocked very well. Some of the movement you may be feeling maybe coming from the tires rocking back and forth ever so slightly. Set the front chocks, pull forward slightly, then set the rear chocks. Some use X-chocks to accomplish this.

The tires are probably moving.....front to rear movement.
There are many fixes, before you dive into things, measure what you have .

Short of putting concrete blocks under the frame, I have not found a way to making the TT rock steady.

We just level the TT and snug up the stabilizers. Fortunately we do not have kids jumping around and being kids. :)

We put a set of JT Strongarms on ours and problem solved. They are on sale now. There was a post on here a couple of days ago with a link. See here

Make sure you use FOUR wheel chocks. We always back or pull the trailer onto the chocks of the direction that the site is sloped, or just the back if the site is level front to back. We then use a hammer to make sure the other side is secured. Us as little of the jack as possible, and carry more blocks/bricks with you.

I had the same problem with my Rockwood 2906ws. Added 2 pair BAL stabilizer bars to rear scissor jacks and 2 scissor jacks in the middle in front of the tires, 1 on each. It's now almost rock solid. Wife hardly notices any movement she's in bed and I'm walking around trailer in morning before she gets up. Happy wife, happy camping.

Good Luck

I solved the problem with our 36 foot Forest River by adding more temporary stabilizers and one under each wheel under the shackle

If you want the trailer to feel rock solid like a house you will have to go to something like the JT Strong Arm Stabilizers. There are several different brands that work on the same principle. Otherwise you just get used to a little rock and roll. Sort of like a boat. That's what we have done.

The 'wider' stance with stabilizers the less wobble effect so using blocks under them help PLUS blocks spread the loading so stabilizer pads don't sink into ground

BUT stabilizers can only minimize trailer 'bounce' and movement

Fore/aft movement should be minimized with the proper use of wheel chocks on both sides of trailer

Level trailer side to side then using tongue jack level front to rear.
Lower front 1" below level then set rear stabilizer jacks SNUG then run front back up to level and set front stabilizers snug


Trailer bounce....that is going to happen as long as tires/suspension are still in play along with frame flex
You can minimize the bounce by using additional jacks/supports under Frame in front of or behind tires both sides suspension can not compress
