We bought a Bigfoot camper that will be loaded on a GMC 2500 8' bed. My awesome hubby made an overbuilt wooden stabilizer for when the truck is not in use which is great but do we need something under it when we are out on the road when at campgrounds? The idea is to leave the camper behind at the campsite while we go exploring.
THANKS for any advice you can send my way!

You need these-- Torklift Wobble Stoppers.
I have a VERY heavy camper with two slides, these things made a HUGE difference, as good as having the camper on sawhorses. They permanently attach to the camper's front jacks so there is no storage taken up to store them.
How do these wobble stoppers attach to the camper - do you need to drill into the camper to attach a bracket that the wobble stopper holds onto?

Thanks so much for the feedback! Coming across the owner's manual for a 1993 Bigfoot 2500 is kinda hard. But getting it as low as the jacks go is the take away from the discussion. Thanks Boatycall for the Wobble Stopper link. We'll check it out. THANKS again!
My Bigfoot 2500 is a 1996. Not sure how much difference there might be between a 1993 and a 1996 - but I do have the owner's manual for mine. I could scan and email you a copy if you are interested.

I just drive around wherever I want with the camper. That's the beauty of it.

(That said, I like to have my refrigerator and bathroom when I go exploring--it's one reason I'm fond of the TC!)
