Does that tripod on the kingpin help much? been thinking of getting one, but thought it too close to the landing gear to make much difference. Dave
Dave, It's pretty much like Country Guy explained it...

Sometimes we use 2 sets of adjustable jacks near tires and spring holders. We have stopped well over 90% of the wiggle, front and back, up and down with these "goodies". Without one or more of the goodies, it is like riding a carneval ride in there when one is sitting and the other is moving around. IF it rains, and we are sitting on less than a concrete pad, we sometimes have to go out and "tweak" the settings on one or more of these goodies.
I have found Country Guy's comment to be right on the mark. Since we were in Pla-Mor and even before that, we have been experimenting with this stabilization thing and have come to the same conclusion as Country Guy. Use ALL the above mentioned components and you'll get rid of 90% of the motion. The remaining 10% is left as a reminder that you are no longer in a stick house but instead living the good life of an RVer
