Slide out stabilizers

I was paging through the Camping World magazine that we received and see that they have 'slide out stabilizers'.

Does anybody use stabilizers for their slide outs?

We have 3 slides, 2 for the living area and 1 for the bedroom.

Also, we are looking for a cover for our Jayco 34RSBS.

Are there any suggestions regarding the brand to consider purchasing?

Thanks,

CAUTION!!!
Most if not all TT manufacturers expressly forbid the use of slide stabilizers.

The reason is simple. If the TT settles for any reason (soft ground under the TT jacks, or tires, or a tire with a slow leak etc.) the TT will lower, but the slides with their added supports will not be able to lower with the TT.
This will put tremendous pressure on the slides and the TT slide opening. SERIOUS EXPENSIVE damage is highly likely.

I made mine for our unit, only having one slide. And it really helps on stabilizing . If you can weld at all or know some one ,, I made mine for about 35.00 for two. V's CW's $$$. Most other RV out fits carry the supports , BUT beware of the small size of the foot print. If you do weld of=r have friend, I can send you my pattern. .. Let me know .PM.
