As long as the tires are touching the ground, youll have varying degrees of wiggle. I made a set of chocks that mimic the X-Chocks,. out of some 4x4's and some threaded rod. Ive notice it does help with the wiggle to a degree and the trailer has less back and forth roll. Im sure some do, but most don't set the wheel chocks up tight, so there is some play. Also, get yourself one of these It really helps with the motion that's created going in and out of the trailer. Plus if helps with the steps getting flexed. I noticed mine looked like they were getting flexed on the left side, because thats where most people step to get into the trailer because thats the side the door handle is on and the door swings to the right.
I attached a small block of wood to my save-a-step and lightly rounded the corners to protect my awning mat from getting holes in it from the sharp corners.
That is a pretty neat gizmo. It will only work on single step TTs though. Not too many TTs anymore that don't have 2-3 steps.
No, it will work on those 2-3 steppers as well. Place it under the bottom step and it supports ALL of them. Most steps are just bolted to the frame and basically hang in mid air with no bottom support. This keeps the entire step assembly from flexing.
I have 2 steps on my 2012 trailer and they are rock solid when I slide this under the steps and adjust it.
That is impossible with my steps. They fold up. I would need 2 of them much longer than that one.
My steps fold up as well and it comes in 2 lengths. Watch this it explains how it works.
I know how it works. I have three steps, and the two lower ones BOTH fold up.
Putting it under the lower step like he does in the video will do NOTHING to support the second step. When you step on that one, it will want to go down, and the lowest supported step will simply fold up a little.
Not true. You would think that but it helps significantly. Must of your drag is on that last step the closer you are to the bracing the less pull you're getting. I use it on a trailer with 3 steps and helps significantly.
