Rocking and Rolling

I have a 2012 Cougar XL 282SGS. It seems to rock more than I would expect when parked. I don't have any after market support accessories (other than 2 X's of various widths) and wonder if I should. I level it side to side before disconnecting from my truck. I then detach it from the truck and level it front to back using the front leg extensions. Then, I lower the rear scissor jacks until the frame creaks ever so slightly. I've tried putting additional pressure on the rear scissors, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I will appreciate any suggestions with thanks.

Our Niece and husband have a Cougar 5th wheel about same size or next one down. Theirs rocked allot also, I think it is due to the lighter weight of these units. They added the JT Strong Arm cross braces between the front jacks and it helped it tremendously. They also use the Camco chocks that fit between the tires which helps. They are now considering putting the JT Strong Arm braces between the rear stabilizer jacks. You will never be able to completely eliminate the movement unless you jack the wheels off the ground and put jacks or pilings under the frame, but by doing the above, you can drastically reduce it. You might also try to king pin brace, it has also helped some people with lighter units.
