Slide out stabilizers

I am the Safety manager at my work. One of our challanges is the employee that refuses to follow the safety standards... They always say that they like doing it the way they do, and they haven't been hurt.

Well, given enough time... They always do get hurt.

There is a way to safely use the slide supports.
You must camp on hard surfaces such as concrete, or asphalt. Something that will not allow the TT to settle. And you must block the TT frame in such a way that a tire losing air will not allow the TT to lower. Think mobile home type stabilizing. As one who sets up for 4 months at a time, it would be worthwhile IMO, to do this.

Since hardly anyone will do these things, the risk of damage is always there. At some point, your number will come up.

Now you have the knowledge of just what the risk is, and how to mitigate it. Knowledge is power.
What you do with it is your choice

Holey ****, I guess after 5 years , I'd better get ride of mine.. I set up for about 4 months a a volunteer in different parks and have a small unit, wind and sea sickness is a factor and I have frame X braces plus blocks, My slide is cable drive and it needs a little help. Thus my braces. And I always have air in my tires and do proper maintenance to the unit. So if you like the wobble, and feeling of a boat when walking to the back, so be it. MY 2 p
Cheers and drive safe and be careful
