I purchased a used tripod a couple of years ago, tried it out briefly and was not impressed with its ability to stabilize the front portion of the 5th wheel. It not only did not function all that well but also took up valuable storage space.

For anyone considering a tripod verses the Steadyfast or other similar stabilizer systems, I would encourage them to forget about the tripod. It may work for some but I wasn't impressed.
