Being new to fifth wheels, I'm wondering if there is a need or an advantage to having a (think it's called) tripod for the front end of the fifth when it's detached and set up on site or home. Campers World has one and it says it makes the RV more stable. It looks to be a gizmo that has 3 legs and supports the front hitch area weight. We've ordered a 3400RL and are now wondering if this is something that would enhance the stability or if it is unnecessary. Thanks.
