Front leg stabilization

I have a 2004 with the electric stabilizers and have always had some movement in the front legs when either of us moved in the bedroom
area. I've looked at the various manufacturers of stabilizing systems
and decided to purchase the Winfield system. I installed it yesterday
in about 20 minutes and without a doubt it was a night and day
difference in the feel inside the rig. I was told the MS units with
hydraulics are not able to use this system as it is only for the electric models. The cost was reasonable and directions easy to understand and follow. http://winfieldrvproducts.com/Home.html

Stacey,
I sent you an e-mail about this but will ask again here.

How did you attach them to the legs on the top. If you attach it to the large part of the legs you will restrict the up/down motion. I have thought that it will work ok for long term set-ups lie you and i do but it will be a big PITA to do it on a daily basis when on the road.

What are your thoughts??

I think I will buy a set. What did they cost to ship to Casa Grande???

Hi Jack;

I drove over to Quartzite for a day to see all the stuff in the big RV show and bought them there. They(Winfield) are not the same as the JT system I helped Ponch install on his trailer last year. But, on the electric jacks like I have this system worked very well. My jack does not have any of the main structure showing out the bottom of my trailer. All I could see was the leg and insert that your can lower. I installed the stabilizer system at the lowest portion of the main leg that goes up and down. On my leg there is a tag that said 'Stop Here' and that is where I installed the top portion of the stabilizer. Then installed the other end at the foot area, so it criss-crosses as it should. Very easy to install, maybe 20 minutes total. Seems to be a very easy to make ready to move process. So far, have not had to re-tighten them as they are just as snug as they were when I installed them. I paid $159.00 plus tax. Shipping was the gas back and forth to 'Q', Lunch-dinner and all the other Junk Gail bought. It would be a lot cheaper to just pay the real shipping charges(Big Grin).....
Since you in the Casa Grande area, come on by and give it a shake!!
