We have a coachman Catalina 303fqb, I think it's about 33'. I like to think we are very good with leveling, dropping the stabilizer jacks, etc. But I still feel every movement my kids make in the bunkhouse in the morning when they wake up. They are early risers, seriously like 5-6am. It seems no matter if they are even quietly playing a board game or anything more than reading a book I feel every movement and wake up. I do ask them to only read until 7:30.

Does anyone have any suggestions for making the TT more stable? Have you tried any of the after market products and do they work?

We go camping with 5 kids regularly and I'm going to lose it at some point.

Leave the kids at home? :B

Seriously, JT Strongarms will do the trick but many of us with thinner wallets find BAL X-Chocks work reasonably well.

I don't know what xchocks are but I will be looking into all the suggestions and links:)

Right now we use the 4 standard jacks with home made wood blocks made out of 2x4s.

What are you using now???

I use the 4 jacks from walmart... After unhooking I crank the nose down all the way. Put two jacks on the rear frame just behind the rear wheels. Then I crank up to just above level and add two more to the front. Drop and good to go...

Get no movement at all..

And like this... I put my rear close to rear axle FYI...
