Slide Stablizers

Slide out stabilizers are they need for the WS 8291. Our slide looks like it is leaning when it is out. We wonder if we should have stabilizers under the slide and what kind we should buy. We don't want to damage our slide or its slide arms.
Please let us know what we need, or your experiences.

No, the slides are design to be self supporting. If you were to install a slide stabilizer and the trailer was to sit on soft ground. If a tire was to sink into the earth you could twist/damage the frame due to bending by the slide support holding up the outside of the slide.

Should be something in the manual stating that doing that will void the slide warranty.
