On our 2013 3800RE with the level up system, the unit is "pretty" stable. But I can feel a little movement, a jiggle, or whatever you wish to call it if I am lying in the bed and the wife is in the living area reading and moving about to the kitchen and back to her chair. We had "pops" that occured quite often during the first few months of ownership (bought end of aug 2012). All was quiet for a good 6 months, then have noticed the occasional pop when the outside temperature drops in the early evening. When I hear the pop, I also notice a slight wiggle or vibration in the fifth wheel. I wonder if anyone has ever checked the torque settings on the bolts that secure the rams to the frame in the six locations where the rams are attached??? I certainly haven't done this yet, but I will check to see what grade of bolt is used and then check the torque setting to make sure that they are in spec range for the grade of bolt used. Anyone else out there checked this on their rigs or witnessed a shop checking this? John
