Thanks Rodney! Still wondering if I should have went brown with the cupholders, oh well. I almost got sucked into the stainless ones...........But I saw those were made in China and these were made in USA. Stuck with plastic. Raining here today so I messed with the sticks and bricks.

They take all the rocking and movement out of the 5ver. You think your trailer is fine until you are in a trailer with them. Huge difference is how solid it is planted while camping...

It sounds like you have experience with this situation. Does it help to align yourself (and the mrs) 90° from the length of the trailer? Are trailers usually more stable side to side or front back?

LOL. Brings back memories of my pop up before I mounted it on the goose. The only "stable" was east west directly over the axle...................on the dinette! Anything else could be seen 5 sites away!
I've pondered the strongarms. or xchocks. or another set of electric stab jacks in front of the axles. One way or another you guys are going to cost me more money!

You don't think the trailer moves much while on the landing gear and stabilizers until you've actually lived in it for a while. We spent 5 straight months in ours last winter and will spend 6 months the next winter. I have a real heavy duty fifth wheel pin stabilizer that does a reasonably nice job, but these strong-arms sure look interesting to me...

I've got the KP stabilizer also Randy. But 50% of the sites we've had have been out of level enough that the legs stand up with such minimal angle I doubt it helps much.

We had the strong arms on our '09 heartland, much better system to have, store, and use.
