Down sizing LP tanks and adding scissor jacks
Good evening, i am contemplating down sizing my LP tanks from the 2 /30# to 2/20# - I installed an A-frame cargo tray (cc-255 from Stromberg Carlson) and the clearance between tanks and tray is limite...

I just went through the same ordeal, wife complaining about the bounce. See my Stabilizer thread which shows the Steadyfast system...there are others to choose from.
In my opinion since your camper has stabilizers and not jacks, adding a single pair of scissor jacks wont help much. The installed stabilizers just aren't rigid enough to prevent the bounce...neither is the floor construction, at least not on my X-lite.
With the Steadyfast I eliminated about 80% of the movement.
In my opinion, if you want a very solid feel, get rid of the installed jacks, mount scissors up front near where the original stabilizers are and mount the rear about 8 feet in from the rear of the camper. That will better compensate from the bounce caused by having your stabilizer jacks at the extreme front and rear of the camper. Then add a stabilizer bar system. With the scissors you should be able to unload the suspension.
I also use X-Chocks and Andersen Levelers.
