So, after reading mods that have added stabilizers, I bought some BAL Lock Arm stabilizing bars. Here's where my problem comes in. My Avenger 32BHS TT is a 4 seasons where underneath is encapsulated with thin cardboard-like material.
Is it ok to cut this stuff to install the stabilizers or should I deal with the rocking and sell my bars? If I can cut into the material, should I try to reseal somehow?

Feel around where the frame mounts go and then cut an I slit and fold it back an have a look. You can always get the alum tape for ducts (NOT DUCT TAPE) and re-seal it. If your worried after you mount the stabilizers, you can always caulk around it. It is just for aerodynamics anyway and protection for the undercarriage components, etc.
I'd be surprised if your camper is a 4-season camper. Most FR campers are moderate 3 to 3 1/2-season campers (at most).

I had a similar issue and cut the plastic out to mount the stabilizer directly to the frame. Then used black RTV (silicone) around the area where the plastic meets the stabilizer mount.
Some of the trailers have wood strips between the frame and the camoplast. On my Windjammer I had to use extra long bolts from Steadyfast to go through the wood. I mounted the brackets with the wood and camoplast in place. I did have to cut a 3 sided access flap to ensure I was centered on the frame for all 4 bolts. I taped it shut with Gorilla tape. That stuff is crazy sticky.
