My fire department just finished building what are called Rescue Supports. We use them to stabilize vehicles that are overturned or on their sides before extricating crash victims. These supports consist of a base plate and telescoping steel tubing that are placed against the frame of the car at between a 45 to 60 degree angle and are pulled tight by a ratcheting strap fixed to the base plate. This forms a kind of “A” frame buttress that is very stable. I’m sitting here wondering why a smaller version wouldn’t work for RV’s. Our 5er stabilizers are pretty much working on a vertical plain and can still wobble or teeter a little. This other design would brace for a more side-to-side movement. I’ll have to go out and see how accessible the Monty’s frame is. If it looks like it may work I’ll try to make a set from the leftover pieces of steel I have and see if it works any better.
