Adding a Rear Stabilizer

[830hvacman]

Was trying to find a way to better stabilize the RV. Looking at the 6 point leveling system, if this were added just in front of the tow hitch, it would even out contacts to the ground from front to the back, and if a king pin stabilizer was added - that would make another point of contact - all evenly spaced...
Has anyone added one of these?
Pro/Cons...
Can it really be done?
I like the longer frame mount on UltraFab vs LCI, but don't like the 2 piece cross member - might allow a little flexing...
Either way - electric and manual..
Thanks!!

I use the Steady Fast Stabilizer System. works great even with the Washer and Dryer running

I also added the part of the Steadyfast system. Only the Right to left part. It helps some but doesn't solve the problem as well as I hoped. I made wooden pads for the rear jacks that by cutting a 2 x 10 into square pieces and the screwed two pieces together. That makes pads that are 3 inches thick. I use two for each pad. (6 inches). The idea is to minimize the amount that the jacks (especially the rear ones) are extended. Seems to help a bunch. Don't use a front stabilizer. The front jacks are larger on my coach and don't seem to need help.

I added the BAL 30" Stabilizer system. Can't get link to copy but do a search on Amazon and it'll come up. About $200 with Jack pads and works really well. It is available manual or electric but reviews on electric were not great.

Mounts right in front of the trailer hitch like it was made for it and works really well. Virtually stopped the movement in back. I put them down when we're going to be there more than a night or two.

I been thinking of a better system for A while.. I'm still at the drawing board will start fabricating and welding soon in a few weeks.
at the moment trying to solve why I'm not getting any hot air coming out of bedroom floor vent! covered the other 2 to see if it was a flow issue and I'm still not getting anything.

FYI

LCI has an electric unit at around the same price as the manual you posted.

Of you take down the basement wall you will find as I and a lot of others have is the duct to the register has fallen off and is laying on the floor. It is held up by tape from the factory. I put it back on with aluminum 5"tape and ty wraps to hold it in place. As far as stabilizers I also installed the steady fast system and it works graet.

Install the one from font to back on the front stabilizer and you will notice a difference. They are designed to have one sideways and one front to back on the front and one sideways across the back to work correctly

I agree, I installed all three of the Steadyfast supports and my Redwood is very solid, even when the washer / dryer is running.
