You will always have some movement in your fiver no matter how much or how many stabilizers you use. You are sitting on four tires and the unit is set on springs. There will be movement. While at one of the National Fall Rallies in Goshen the question was brought up about movement and the reps from Lippert/LCI (the manufacturer of the 4 or 6 point level-up systems on Montana's) told those present at the session that the more you extend your level-up legs or rams the more movement you will feel inside. They recommended not extending the legs over 11 inches. If more length is needed, you are to use wood or other blocks under the legs. I have seen the X-Chocks and the Strong Arm systems used and they do help and I've also seen where owners of Montana's have added or left the stabilizers on the rear of their units that are either run by a switch and a motor to lower and raise the stabilizers or the ones that use manpowered hand crank or a drill to do the same thing. These give better support to the rear of the unit and movement is reduced. It is surprising how much the X-Chocks help to reduce movement.
