I installed the stabilizers one my current TT and they have made a difference. I ordered them on the new 320 and I know they will help. Good investment!

I purchased the http strong arm stabilizers for our 320rs ours was built in march before they started installing the brackets. I installed the front set but am confused about the rear ones because no matter how you lay them out they will hit the arm on the rear stabilizer. Did you install the ones on the rear. If so can you send pics of the new factory installed brackets.
Thanks mike

They just come with replacement bolts for the feet that work really well.

I have these factory installed on my 36qbok, has anyone had a problem with them squeeking a lot? I noticed where they are mounted through the bottom holes of the landing gear that they arent snug and move back and forth, is that normal?

I have the first generation 365RL and I wondering after reading the post about the JT stabilizers how it would work the 4 point auto control levelling system? I have also looked at the new 365RL and now have noticed they have gone with a 6 point auto levelling system, does this mean there was issues with only 4 jacks? I am only wondering ,I have to say that with my wife and I we do notice some movement but its nothing we can't live with..I mite go with the JT system if I can find a online provider.


Thanks

That is the chepest that I had found as well, I was just wondering if I bought them from Columbus would it be cheaper. Camping world had them listed at 281.99 but then if you add shipping it is way over Tweetys price. Thanks though!!!
