I have two Bal X and scissor (stock) on 4 big plastic pads and very little wiggle (at least no unintentional motion . I have braced the steps and it makes a big difference as well... not used on this trip.

hey did a little hillbilly fabrication today and I fer sure noticed the difference in the side to side motion, I got a couple pieces of 3/4 conduit measured them out so one end goes to the bottom of the stabilizer foot and the other end to the frame above the stabilizer jack on the other side, I flattened the ends of the conduit back about 6 inches ( for adj. l.o.l. ) then attached both ends tightly with c clamps, now that its done it takes me about 5 minutes to hook them up, I did the front and the back and I can really notice the difference, I know that theres similar products that you can buy that stay on the trailer but for about 20 bucks for conduit and 4 clamps and 5 minutes to set it up I think I can live with it, ok pile on take care joe

There a lot of good suggestions and coming up with a solution that works for you is always good. But it is very difficult to totally eliminate all jiggle. Do the best you can and forget about it and enjoy yourself. The only 100% way to get rid of that annoying shake is to get a tent and none of us really want to do that.

Not quite yet

No new TV [nor on order - it seems the 2016s have a lot of constraints on the options ]
Waiting until Post-Goshen for the new 5er

or you can put the entire trailer on cement blocks so the wheels are off the ground. I suppose that my take a little if not all wiggle out of your coach.
