I'm glad I searched for this topic. Last weekend my family bought our first RV a Class C. We didn't opt to spend the extra money for the auto leveling feature. We instead decided we'd just use the blocks.
I was looking at scissor jacks and what not for ideas to stabilize. Sounds like it might be best to just try w/o anything first. Ya'll Agree?
Along those same lines. Is it a good idea to buy the slide supports or step support? I guess my concern from a mechanical standpoint is that if I don't stabilize the main chassis well then putting slide support in is pointless if not dangerous to slide rods.
Thanks
Definitely try without any stabilizers. It's generally easier and cheaper to not add stuff than to add stuff, and when the stuff is unneeded, it's wasted effort and money.
If your slide or steps required extra support, surely the factory would have supplied the extra supports gizmos with the RV as standard equipment. Any maker that sold an RV where the very basic features are entirely unusable by design would not last long, I suspect.
I don't use any supports on my steps. I don't have any slides to worry about supporting or not, which makes that decision very simple.
We are going camping this weekend. I'm just going to give it a go as is. I'd much rather not ahve to buy the extra equipment. I'd rather spend it on camping gear. ;-)
