Stabilizing Heritage Glen 299RE

Hello,

This is my first post to Forrest River Forums. My wife and I have a Heritage Glen TT which we love but I can't seem to find the best way to minimize shaking (vibrations) when we walk in the trailer.

Perhaps I'm not using the stabilizer jacks to there maximum effectiveness.

Suggestions would be welcome.

Bal x-chocks took a lot of our movement out.

Hello,

Best solution is first good wheel chocks, next X Chocks between the tires to stiffen up the rubber and finally JT Strong Arms.

I have used all three in the past with stab jacks.

JT Strong-arms work but are a bit of pain to lock/ unlock and keep lubricated.

I would try X Chocks first as an option, easier to use.

Thanks B and B. I've used the X Chocks which were of some help. I'll look into the JT Strong-arms since we spend three months each winter in Arizona and it would be worth a bit of effort to make the trailer more stable. Thanks. Rich

I’ve had JT SteongArm knockoffs and later upgrades to the SteadyFast system. SteadyFast is nicer- easier on the hands, less bars, and same (or slightly better) performance:

Otherwise, here are ideas for a more stable trailer:
