Good stabilizers

Very easy to install. I used this kit on the back of my 25ft Sundance to stabilize it. I did a shake test after installation and it greatly improved the range of motion. Find a piece of iron 1.5 x 4 C section and cut it into 4 lengths and really I only had to cut a piece of 8 into pieces but oh well I used those two pieces to take the lever calipers off the bushings moving away, it worked fine and the jacks work freely. The reason for this is that I didn't have the other crossbars close enough…

  • Legacy model

It hurts, but it turned out just great. Two thumbs up

Wobble-wobble-wobble. K, enough of that, I've witnessed the development of camper seasickness. At first there was nothing that was very uncomfortable. Second, wheel chocks, mmmkkk. The third had 6 BAL sockets (three on each side), but almost all of them still had hesitations. Finally I put them on. Still a very slight wobble but the feeling of walking into something solid is there. In order for it to flap, I have to move aggressively. I only used two sets. Instead of mounting them front and…

You could pay a lot more for a gun that does the same.

Before ordering, check the underside of the motorhome, find the attachment points and consider where the lever extends and retracts. I originally planned to install both levers in the back, but the reset wires are blocked and I have started the installation. We have a trailer for tourists that has a small elevator underneath. That being said, we'll get some leverage when the scissor jacks deploy. I ordered a set and it was delivered quickly. The hands are well packaged and the instructions were

  • Easy to install

  • Expensive

Amazing difference!

I bought 2 of these sets for our 26ft trailer and the difference is amazing. Before that, you could feel everything moving in the trailer. Whoever was in the front of the kitchen rocked the people sleeping in the back etc. I mounted them on the front corners and now the whole caravan is rock solid. Installation was relatively easy, but the instructions could use a little refreshment (the photos were so dark you couldn't see what was going on). The hardware for attaching the brackets to the…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Small parts

Great addition to car lifts, hoists and jacks

We had problems with the trailer swaying. The tripod on our 28-foot five helped, but not much. Tried butt plates - not very good. So I tried a couple of these. I was concerned about mounting it on the front of the camper because of the spare wheel mount. There was enough space to clean a tire. It's hard to assess this gap until you get your hands on the product. So I ordered a pair to start with. As you can see from the photo, the corner was just right for the landing. I liked it so much that I

  • Some flaws

Movement almost completely knocked out

I have a small, light RV that's pretty high off the ground. Even with a scissor jack, it shakes so much that you can see it from the outside. I wake up to dogs jumping off the bed onto the floor and running around. He practically dances on his wheels while I cook between the stove and the dining table. For a long time I put up with it, I considered it part of the camping experience, right? Fast forward to a recent camp experience. The ranger knocked and said it was time to leave the park. I…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • boring packaging

Easy to fit into sockets

Comes with all small parts as promised. Easy to install, one pair took less than 15 minutes. I ended up buying 3 pairs because I wanted my trailer to barely move while camping. For the past year I've been using stabilizers I made myself from 2x4s that work great and only cost me $25 to build. However, they are not adjustable as the trailer was often lowered too low or too high off the ground to secure the wooden stabilizers. As cheap as they were, it was the extra weight and storage space…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Protection

Good Value for Money - Highly Recommended

This is a really good solution for motorhome stability. I have used two sets for my TT. Background: I currently have pads from BAL X. They help but not as much as I would like. They might be on ebay. The jack is raised with a block of wood and the stabilizers (diamond type) also have a set of Lynx levelers underneath. The trailer rocked and rolled like crazy. Configuration: My TT has two rear bushings and two angled front bushings. The camper stands quite high above the ground and therefore…

  • Impressive

  • Not Bad
