You know, I'm not sure I know the answer to that question George. I did however buy one of the tripods to try on this trailer...for one reason. There had been so many instances of the frame cracking at the front edge of the nose portion, and my trailer is the biggest MHC with a 10" frame before it goes to a 12", AND since DW wanted a 250lb. washer/dryer set stuck up there in the nose figured I would try one out. Used it a bit and it doesn't do anything for wiggles but I'm still debating if it is doing any good supporting all that weight (and keeping the stress of the frame welds).
