Stabilizing a Class C

I notice that many Class C's do not have automatic levelers and many just use blocks under the tires. My question is with the MH just being supported by the suspension how do you keep the MH from moving when you walk inside? Is the movement less in a shorter class C say 24 ft vs 30 ft? Is the movement less with a heavier suspension say 450 vs 350? Been looking at 24 ft MH's with a full wall slide. In my Class A I notice a lot of movement when the levelers are not extended.

I saw a few when I was looking that had stabilizers like you see on trailers. Not for leveling, strictly for stabilizing after level. Would obviously be much cheaper to install.

Personally I was convinced I wanted levelers, but after using the motorhome for a few months I decided the movement doesn't bother me so I'm not going to get them. Yellow Legos for me!

I did install A Levelmate Pro though, which tells you exactly how many inches each wheel needs to be raised. I really like it, level first shot every time

Winnebago Aspect 27K. Small slides both sides. 29'4" length. 10'4" height. Came with auto-levelers and we wouldn't be without them. They make our unit solid as a rock...

Some of the Sprinter based coaches have power rear stabilizer jacks included, or as an option, that can be deployed to help keep the coach from moving when people walk around inside. They're similar to some of the stabilizing jacks you'll see on either end of a travel trailer. Our '18 Navion has them, but really hasn't needed them in our travels, so far.
Mike. Comments are anecdotal or personal opinions, and worth what you paid for them.

I have a 24' 2012 Nexus E-350 C, no slides or levelers, I use the yellow Leggo blocks and they work just fine. Hardly any movement in the coach. The heavy duty Bilstein's probably help.
