Feet on landing gear
We have the rectangular feet on our landing gear. Does switching to the round 9” feet make a difference? (More stable)

yes to adding a wood "block" under the landing legs.
the less they stick out of there housings the less wiggle. i built a set of them for my driveway. (slopped down) mostly to help level out the 5 er. one can walk under the pin without stooping. just use 2X8 inch hard wood, soak all in a water proofing and wood preservative. use only outdoor wood screws a good 4 inches long (use plenty of them). over build this as you would not want it to fail at anytime.
yes heavy, but very stable they are a good 18 inches sq foot print, and a good 16 inches tall. (width of the board,+ two layers top and two layers bottom,(screwed as layer going one way and second going 90% to the first layer) just for the higth. then cross braced inside the "box"). with one 3/8 screw/bolt sticking up to act as a notice of slippage (goes through a hole in the landing leg foot). one heavy winter, and working inside the coach, have not seen any signs of such. and just this alone had removed almost if not all wiggling.
i did not use any glue just 2 screws at every connection point.
if i wanted to take them with me would not be a issue. as i can easily lift them into the back of the truck, yes there is a large hand/carry grip on them.
