We decided to sell our teardrop t@b travel trailer and get something a bit larger and more comfortable. A dealer was going out of business and liquidating inventory so we got a smokin' deal, and was able to sell our t@b in only one day.

The 16' t@b is a single axle, and has "stabilizer jacks" that were specifically NOT for leveling, but rather just to give the frame some support and prevent it from twisting. Trailer weight was 1,900 lbs.

The new trailer is 22', double axle, and does NOT come with any jacks. We notice some movement as we move about. So we're looking at both scissor jacks and stabilizer bars, and intend to permanently mount them.
Trailer weight w/o cargo is 3,850 lbs.




We can't decide if we should go with scissor jacks or the stabilizing bars.. Also, should we do front and rear or just rear?
Both models are now "lower profile" than in the past, which is a plus.
The stabilizer bars actually look more stable to us. Dealership people weren't any real help on this.

Anybody have experience or a recommendation?


We're also looking at these "composite recycled rubber pad" jack pads that provides both absorption of vibration and insulation from the ground. We'd use them with either jack.

T@B stabilizer jacks: Obviously way less robust than the BAL stabilizer jacks.
