Vintage TT needs stabilizing, but stumped

Recently acquired a 1964 Kustom Koach that I am converting to a mobile craft workshop to accompany our 2006 Copper Canyon Sprinter, both parked on our seasonal lot in Alberta.

She rides pretty low to the ground and came with 2 small jacks to put underneath but still bounces quite a bit when I walk around inside.

I am open to suggestions on how to stabilize her. Maybe better, bigger jacks that raise her higher? Plastic blocks under the jacks as well?

(I’d include a picture but I don’t know how to do so with a URL.)

Thanks for any suggestions.
  • Like Chris Bryant above...I used 4 jack stands placed under the frame near each corner and our TT was rock solid. It had a pretty beefy frame.

    Some of the older TT used lightweight frames so you may need to place two more jack stands to support the middle.
  • Jack stands, one at each corner. Crank the tongue down a bit, put stands under the rear, crank it up a bit past level, put stands under front,
