Steadyfast system
After reading many positive comments about the Steadyfast System, we placed our order for one today. Hoping it does all it is advertised to do, will keep you posted. It will be installed on a 2012 Cougar HC 291RLS 5er.

Let me know how it works. I have also been researching this brand and the J.T. brand. It appears to me that the Steadyfast system only installs on three locations. Where the other brands it appears that they will go on all four jacks and in all directions.

Speaking from experience the SteadyFast system works very well for our 36' toyhauler. It's design is simple and the parts well made from quality steel so there is no need for more than three braces. I especially like the large locking knobs for each brace - easy to tighten and release.
Good luck.

No more than three braces? Where do you put these three?

sdayman:
If you go to their website ( www.steadyfast.com) you can find out all the information you need to know about this system. There is even a video you can watch to see how it is installed and how it works to keep your unit steady.
Plenty of detailed and additional information about this system and other RV additions and modifications that you have expressed interest in, is usually available and easily accessible by going to the various manufacturers' websites or by simply doing a Google search.

Thanks, Festus. That *totally* slipped by me, and I’ve checked out their site before. I thought it was $300 for 6 stabilizers, like the Strong Arm and BAL. I didn’t realize that it was just three stabilizers. I dunno, I think more is better.

We have the Steadyfast System on our Cougar 318SAB. It is totally awesome..stopped 100% of the sideways shaking we had in our 5th wheel. It was so bad. Feel very slight tire movement. Good luck with your Steadyfast system. Paul Hanscom is awesome to deal with also.

Dave . . . you will never regret the investment you've made in your SteadyFast system. Simplicity and performance at its best!
Have fun.

Had the Steadyfast on our Chaparral for a year. Took it off and put the front set on saturday at the campground. Had the rear bracket modified to bolt onto the bumper slideout channel. I used two of the extra 'L' brackets from the kit and had them welded to the wing nut bracket. Wire wheeled it down and hit it with a coat of Rustoleum. Will get long bolts, washers and nuts so I can bolt through the bumper bracket. I'll take pictures of the rear install if anyone is interested...Jim

I thought I read on the steadyfast site instructions that the orientation of the foot was installer's choice and didn't really matter.

Steadyfast / Wheel chocks
I just ordered my Steadyfast last Friday; I am excited to get it installed. Does anyone have a recommendation for what type of wheel chocks work best with Steadyfast? I just purchased my fiver so I am still gearing up and don't have wheel chocks yet.

Some photos of the install. I need to zip tie the gas line back so it does not rub the brace.

dave-g, Howdy;
Thanks for showing a 'hidden hazard'. Nice pix.
What's the rear brace look like (attach points)?
Thanks

rear brace - attached to tube that goes to the bumper. Jack is up, that is why the bar looks level.
