Stabilizing Wildwood 4092BFL

Question

My wife and I recently purchased a new Wildwood 4092BFL which is sitting on a seasonal site (we won't be moving it).

After spending the first night in the RV I noticed there is side to side motion (front to back seems stable). Question is, what methods are recommended for eliminating the side to side motion?

I have 8 Camco aluminum jack stands to install (thinking 4 front/rear of the axles and the other 4 near the corners) and we also have X-Chocks on the wheels.

I've read some people suggest letting air out of the tires once the jack stands are snug and in place as it takes the bounce from the suspension out of the equation?

Thanks,

I would try the jacks first, before lowering the tire pressure. Lower the front jack, that came with the trailer, down so that the rear is about 2" higher than the front. Place the jack stands you bought, under the rear, and then jack the front back up to level. This will preload the rears. Install the front jack stands and then install the extra stands in the middle. That should be plenty to stabilize the trailer.

Thanks for the reply Don.What you described seems like the "standard" way of stabilizing so I'll certainly give that a try when we're back at the RV in 2 weeks.Will report back if I still have issues with stability after leveling in the way you suggest.
