Thanks for the input.

I will wait until I see the conditions of the site before I decide on a set plan. I have set jacks under the slides before and it did stop a lot of side to side sway. I am not compulsive of sway, but my wife is. She thinks that since we are living in it like a house, it should be as stable as a house.
My wife also has a hard time with bounce and sway. I installed Seadyfast stabilizers and it took out almost all of the sway. They have to be reset every couple days as things settle. For the bounce we started with a tripod for the front which helps quite a bit but needs to be readjusted as the ground settles. I have also installed 4-8000lbs stabilizer jacks on the frame. On soft ground everything still needs to be readjusted every couple days. We still have a little bounce in the trailer. It changes a little as the holding tanks water level changes. I think the frame has just a little too much flex in it to make it a solid as she wants.
