333 MKS with 4 point levelling.

We are upgrading our current 2013 MKS to a 2017. We love the layout but want the upgraded features of the new model.
The 2013 we have now jiggles really bad. It has conventional jacks and landing gear.
How much more stability will the 2017 have with the 4 point level up?
Will I still need to use the BAL chock and locks etc?

I wondered the same thing about our Montana HC which has the 4 pt. leveling system. I kept the Steadyfast system from our previous 5ver just in case, but have not felt the need to use it. It is much more stable without any other stabilizers than our Cougar was.

I'm guessing you will be pleasantly surprised!

I have a 2017 333 and have found it quite stable using the 4 point levelers. I have not needed the crappy Bal chocks as one is bent from me forgetting to take it out as I moved the old trailer. The level system is a one touch system just push Level and It does the work after you take the trailer off the hitch. Be sure to move your truck out of the way before you push the Level button because the rv goes thru quite a process of leveling which entails the front end going up and down several times finding level. It could smash your bed if your truck was under it. I am just waiting for this great system to crap out as my glass is always half empty. We have enjoyed the trailer. It seems every trailer will wiggle a little if you put people in opposing slides (physics)....:

Thanks for the replies.
Really looking forward to the new, old rig.

Can't speak for the 333MKS, but my 27RKS with the 4-point leveling system was far more stable than my 28' TT ever was with manual stabilizing jacks, x-chocks and the hitch jack. However, I added the BAL Lock Arms to the front landing gear and it is rock solid now, a noticeable improvement.
