Leveling jacks

Ron:

I have two stabilizers on the tail end of my Tear, but don't usually need them.
The chalks on the tires are a must most of the time and the front centered
wheel jack is all I need but I do raise uP the front so my head is higher than
my tail, for better comfort and sleeping. I am one person and even with two
I very seldom use the jacks - stabilizers.

Da' moral of da' story is:

So Ron, if your not the rock en roll type in your rig,
Then putting extra stabilizers on may not be your gig.
But if you find your walls and floor have a tendency to roar,
You might very well consider putting stabilizers on and more~ :eyebrows:
"A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country
is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards." -------Theodore Roosevelt

Don't have stabilizers on mine I usually level it with the tongue jack and chock the tires. At IRG, Kai (MexicanTear) lent me some leveling blocks. I had to shim the street side up a couple inches. I thought it wouldn't bother me to sleep on a slope but after one night we both noticed it. Now that I found a situation where I needed them, I bought my own set of blocks.
