Shaky trailer!

[BCCamper]

Going into our second season with our surveyor 321BHTS and last season found it generally shaky when parked. It is high off the ground and with a long frame I guess it affects the stability. Any one have this issue or resolved a shaky trailer in some way?

I bought two and helped in my last camper at 29'. I now have the 32bhds and will see how helps on that. Easy to setup and take down and store.

Excellent thanks those were what I was considering I haven't tried them but I will!

I bought last Aug and they were $30 each. Now double. Thought crap... Should have bought 4! LOL

Our Surveyor is much more stable than the Puma, it has a Valterra type setup from the factory.

Too bad you're not closer, BCCamper. I have two I used when we had our Flagstaff 27BESS - now with the motor home, don't need them. I'll be unloading them soon, but I have no idea what shipping would be.

I added standard stabilizer jacks in front of the forward axle to my 31 footer. No mor shaking or bouncing when set up. Amazon has them (7500 lb) for about $68 a pair.

I picked up a pair and set them up this weekend. I did not mount them to the frame. It helped out immensely. I had more people over than normal and the bounce was not nearly as noticeable.

I tried those but it just didn't solve my problem. Returned to Amazon. My problem wasn't forward/aft movement but up/down and side to side movement. The additional stab jacks I put on eliminated not some but all of that.

Just got these delivered from Amazon. I went with four I'll be trying them this weekend! Thanks I was looking at those wheel chock stabilizer units too might get some as well. FYI $70 Canadian each!

I use 12v DC electric impact gun to run down 4 stabilizers really good and no problems. The 12v gun doesn't have enough power to damage stabilizers. I go around 2nd time to get them a little more tight. Don't use anything above 12v or you risk damaging stabilizers. Stopped using between wheels device, not needed.
