Trailer "shimmy" in campgrounds
I've been an RVer since the mid-70's, progressing through a few pop-ups, a 26ft trailer, a 30ft 5vr, and now, a 40ft 'destination' trailer. We love the new unit, but are still dealing with trailer 's...

... the system I have described takes care of all the issue with A SINGLE METHOD.
The OP has a 40' unit and while he might have called it "shimmy" anyone that understands this issue would have realized like I did that it takes more than just shoring up the support system only at the corners to solve the problem.
In fact I'm confused why we are even talking about a 25' unit ... NOW IMO THERE IS AN APPLES AND ORANGES ISSUE.

The more you post, the more its clear you just don't understand what's really happening.
Those screw jacks you swear by actually are not the worst idea for permanent set ups like this 40' trailer might be, but they are not at all practical for anyone who is "mobile".
You should think about why those jacks are effective in some cases. Look at their base, the shape, the structure, allowable movement.
So yeah, if you are set up as a seasonal, the concepts I posted are more expensive than the multiple screw jacks.
My concepts are for the true travel trailers, not park units. But that doesn't make them any less effective. Not in the slightest.
