Lessening the rocking

For the last 2 seasons i been using the Fastway one step choks on one side and just some heavy duty rubber ones on the other. Now I don't feel like the trailer is going to roll away, my problem is I want to lessen the rocking. Would adding a 2nd set of Fastway one steps help or should I try an X chok or other homemade job? Thanks in advance!

X- Chocks helped. Also use a set of screw jacks behind each set of wheels at the frame. This helps.

I have three of these to supplement my power jacks and they really help stabilize the unit. One near the entry door/axles and one on the other side near the axles and one under the rear bumper. Very little movement.

I use one x-chock and may add a second. Also, I use those yellow plastic squares under all the landing legs. You want to have your landing gear extend only a short distance if possible. The more they extend, the more rocking you may have.

The only way to stop the shake is triangulation!! Look at getting a set of JT Strong arms.

I also use these,, I just put one under the back bumper and one crossways under the front frame, and it will really stop the rocking..

You can also look at Steadyfast. Had a set of these on my High Country i use to have, worked great. Either one would work good for you.

On our latest, we installed the JT Strongarms in addition to the X-chocks. I'm big guy and now I can walk across the floor now without the wife popping out of bed on the other end of the trailer from the rocking! Made her a happy camper .

Seriously, the JT Strongarms took out almost all of the rocking - they work as advertised and are very easy to install and use. HIGHLY recommended!
