Pin hitch tripod

Did a search and didn't find any similar posts or questions. Anyways, I am aware that slide out jacks are bad in that they can damage the mechanisms if the trailer shifts or rolls enough. Would this not also be true of a 5th Wheel hitch pin tripod. I am moving from my 275ULSBS to a much larger 5th wheel toy hauler, and with my wife and I not being small people, am concerned that the front portion should have all the support it can get when we are up in it. I've seen only positive comments as it relates to stability, but nothing about my concern. Thanks

Nope. they work just fine. You just put it in after leveling and stabilizing.

IMO one of the systems like this would serve you better.
They will not take up near the room as a tripod does.
