Have a 26' Rainier travel trailer. When we are parket at our sit with all four jacks down and the trailer being level, it shakes when we walk across the room. How to I make it more stable so it doesn't shake? Appreciate it. Have tried adding fifth and sixth frame jacks about mid-length, but still shakes when we walk.
X2 with GaryWT comments. As I have opined previously, unless you are on a concrete pad there will be movement due to the ground (gravel/grass) movement; even a little bit. I'm guessing that a 1/16 inch movement between the jack and the ground could result in movement of the trailer several times that amount.

Short of putting it up on cement blocks you will get movement, just life on wheels. Items talked about will help some, some more than others, but it will not be perfect.

Harbor Freight had big fat heavy duty rubber wheel chocks on sale last weekend for $4 a piece. I grabbed 4 for my trailer. We have only a single axle, so we can't jam the wheels with the wheels on the same side. This should help. I've been thinking about how to get emergency brake action going. Some hubs do have actuators for e-brakes on them. But this will work out just as well.

May be a crazy question, but do you chock the wheels at all? When we set up, after we get level side to side, we place 2 chocks behind the front tires, then I back up just a little and my wife and/ or boys place another set of chocks in front of the rear tires, then let the trailer settle into the chocks. After I back up a little, I set the e-brake so the other chocks can be placed. I have added a set of x-chocks also which they do help also. BUT... if you aren't using chocks (regular) then you should. Even w/ x-chocks you want to use regular chocks also. Set x-chocks after trailer is unhooked and leveled.
We had same issue on our Wind Jammer. Xchocks helped but after putting two of these in front of the front axle it is pretty much gone. Got two brand new jacks from the auto wreckers for $10.00.
I use 2 small bottle jacks (2 ton) with wood blocks.. in front of wheels up to the frame.. do not make the wheels lift.. just remove some of the weight from wheels/suspension.
