Stabilizing when at site
We recently bought a 31 foot with a slide and have noticed some considerable bouncing- like on a boat- when people move around. This is our first tt so this is new to us. I do have automatic stabilize...

Our 3008 Windjammer was terrible for bounce. Our 10 lb dog felt like a 300 pounder jumping in the trailer. Put x clocks on and it helped a little. Went to the local pick u part wreckers and picked up two of these for $10.00 both had never been used.
I would say 90% of the bounce is now gone.
Looks like you just set yours under the frame. I used tec screws and bolted them to the frame in the same manor as the Jayco folks. I had the electric stabilizers on my last 35' TT, I didn't care for them compared to the old scissor jacks.
Oh and I have an aluminum box on the rear bumper that holds 4X6X10" and 2X6X10" blocks to shorten the jacks stroke.
The more you RV the more you find what works and of course what doesn't!
Trailer is at a seasonal site for a couple more months. I'm making brackets and welding them to the top of each jack then clamp the to the crossbar that they are on now which is just in front of the front tires. It's a 2015 that will be going in for some warranty work this fall and I don't want to give any excuse to deny warranty with drilling any holes yet.
