The Secret To An Unshakable RV: Top RV Stabilizers Reviewed

How to Stabilize an RV, Camper, or 5th Wheel

Billy Joe Shaver said it best: “If the trailer is rockin’, don’t come knockin’.” But for most of us, a rocking camper is more of a headache than a party.

Luckily, there are plenty of ways to stabilize your camper. While some products are designed specifically for fifth wheels, most work on any RV, travel trailer, or camper.

Standard stabilizer jacks help, but they don’t eliminate all movement since they’re small compared to the trailer frame.

In this review, I’ll go over the best ways to keep your camper steady and cut down on the wobbling, shaking, and bouncing that’s been driving you nuts.

1. Discount Parts RV Stabilizer

My Review

These stabilizer jacks help reduce shaking and bouncing in your camper by adding extra frame support where built in jacks are not enough.

As a compact and basic option, they work best for smaller RVs and travel trailers rather than large fifth wheels or motorhomes.

They adjust from 11 to 17 inches and hold up to 7500 pounds, making them a good option for travel trailers and smaller RVs.

Setup is simple, with no tools or drilling required. Just place them under the frame and adjust to the right height. They are lightweight and compact so storage is easy.

While they will not eliminate all movement, they make a noticeable difference. For a budget friendly way to add stability, they are a solid choice.

2. Lezcufer Camper Wheel Chock

Check Price at Amazon

My Review

These X-shaped wheel stabilizers by Lezcufer do a great job reducing movement by locking tandem tires in place.

They apply force between the tires to stop them from moving, which helps reduce side-to-side motion.

The design is sturdy with a steel build and a rust resistant coating.

Setup is quick using the included ratchet wrench. They adjust to fit different tire spacings, so they work with most RVs and trailers.

They store easily when not in use but need to be removed before towing.

If you are looking for an effective way to limit movement from the wheels, these are a great option.

We are currently using a similar product, and we immediately noticed a difference in both our travel trailer.

3. Lippert Solid Stance RV Step Stabilizer

Check Price at Amazon

My Review

The Lippert step stabilizer is a great way to reduce bounce and movement when stepping in and out of an RV. It provides direct ground support, which helps take pressure off the frame and makes the steps feel more solid.

It attaches permanently to the bottom of the steps and is designed for Lippert and some similar entry steps.

The adjustable legs allow for different heights, and once installed, it is easy to adjust using the spring loaded pins.

If you have compatible steps and want better stability, this is a simple and effective option.

4. BAL X-Chock Wheel Stabilizer

Check Price at Amazon

My Review

We use these X-chocks, and they make a huge difference in reducing movement.

They work by locking tandem tires together to prevent movement, similar to the Lezcufer wheel chocks above, which helps cut down on front-to-back sway.

The design is sturdy, and they fit even in tight spaces between tires.

Installation is quick with the included wrench, and the adjustable range extends from 1-3/8 inches to 10 inches, allowing for a snug fit on different tire spacings.

Since they need to be removed before towing, storage is important, but these are compact and easy to put back on.

For a reliable way to stabilize an RV, these are well worth it.

5. ADNIK Lock-Arm (23216)

Check Price at Amazon

My Review

The Adnik lock-arm bar is a great way to add extra support to existing stabilizer jacks.

By creating a rigid connection between the frame and the jacks, it helps reduce side to side and front-to-back movement, making the RV feel more solid when parked.

It is a simple but effective solution for campers that still feel unstable even with stabilizer jacks down.

Installation is a one time bolt on process that works with most crank down leveling jacks.

Once installed, the system integrates with the jacks, so there is no extra setup each time you park.

It does not replace stabilizer jacks but makes them much more effective.

If your RV still rocks even with stabilizers down, this is a solid upgrade.

6. Schumaho King Pin Tripod Stabilizer

Check Price at Amazon

My Review

The Schumaho king pin tripod is made for fifth wheels and does a great job reducing movement at the front of the trailer.

By supporting the king pin, it helps take pressure off the landing gear and makes the whole setup feel more solid.

If your fifth wheel rocks slightly when parked, this will add extra stability and help reduce that movement.

It has a 5000 pound load capacity and an adjustable height range (35 to 56 inches), so it fits different fifth wheels.

Setup is easy with the included drill adapter, which makes adjusting the height quicker.

Since it is a tripod, it is compact and easy to store when not in use. If you own a fifth wheel and want better front end stability, this is a solid choice.

7. Beech Lane Universal RV Stabilizer

Check Price at Amazon

My Review

The Beech Lane universal RV stabilizer is a simple way to reduce movement in an RV or trailer by adding extra support under the frame. It adjusts from 12 to 26.5 inches, making it compatible with different RV heights.

If you have noticed some bounce or sway when moving around inside your trailer or RV, this can help by adding stability where it is needed most.

Setup is quick since it does not require tools. Just position it under the frame, adjust the height, and tighten it until snug.

The foldable design makes it easy to store when not in use.

This is a great option if you want extra stabilization without permanently installing anything.

8. MKING RV Hitch Mount Stabilizer

Check Price at Amazon

My Review

The Mking hitch mount stabilizer is designed for motorhomes and trailers with a 2-inch hitch receiver. It helps reduce movement by providing extra support under the frame, which takes pressure off the suspension and minimizes bouncing.

If your RV feels unsteady when parked, this can add another layer of stability.

It adjusts from 18.5 to 29.5 inches, making it compatible with different setups.

Installation is simple since it slides into the hitch receiver and secures with a pin.

The height is adjustable without tools, so it is easy to set up and remove when needed.

If you want a frame stabilizer that works with a hitch, this is a good option.

9. Kohree RV Slide Out Supports

Check Price at Amazon

My Review

I usually do not recommend slide-out stabilizers for newer RVs since slide-outs are built to support themselves.

Using these can void the warranty on some campers and may even cause damage if they put too much pressure on the slide mechanism.

However, if you have an older RV with significant sag, they can help take some of the strain off the frame.

These adjust from 20 to 49 inches, making them compatible with various slide-out heights.

Each jack supports up to 5000 pounds, and setup is simple with the included hand crank or a power drill.

If you have a worn-out slide-out that needs extra support, these might be worth considering.

Read this article before buying slide-out stabilizers.

10. Camco Eaz-Lift King Pin Tripod Stabilizer

Check Price at Amazon

My Review

The Eaz-lift king pin tripod by Camco is designed for 5th wheel trailers and helps reduce front-end movement by supporting the king pin.

It takes some of the pressure off the landing gear, making the front of the trailer feel more stable when parked.

It adjusts from 38.5 to 53 inches to fit different trailer heights and supports up to 5000 pounds.

Setup is simple with the chain tension system, and the tripod folds up for storage when not in use.

If you have a 5th wheel and want extra front-end stability, this is a good option.

Compared to the Schumaho tripod, the Schumaho has a wider height range (35 to 56 inches), while the Camco starts slightly higher at 38.5 to 53 inches. The Schumaho also includes a drill adapter for quicker adjustments. Both support 5000 pounds, so the choice comes down to height adjustability needs and whether or not you would prefer tightening it with a drill.

11. Libra Heavy Duty Scissor Jacks

Check Price at Amazon

My Review

These scissor jacks work as both stabilizers and minor leveling jacks.

With a 4 to 24-inch adjustment range and 9000-pound capacity per jack, they provide solid support for most RVs and trailers.

If bounce or movement is still an issue after leveling, adding these can help create a more stable setup.

Designed for permanent installation, they bolt directly to the frame and crank up and down easily.

While useful for minor leveling adjustments, they are not a substitute for power leveling jacks or landing gear.

For those looking to replace worn-out scissor jacks or add extra stability, these are a strong choice.

12. Lippert JT’s Strong Arm

Check Price at Amazon

My Review

This stabilizer kit is one of the best permanent solutions for eliminating chassis movement in fifth wheels and travel trailers.

It uses a triangular support system that locks the landing gear and stabilizer jacks to the frame, stopping both side-to-side and front-to-rear movement.

Installation is bolt-on and typically takes one to two hours. It integrates with scissor jacks, front landing gear, and telescoping jacks, providing extra stability across different setups.

It works with fifth wheels, short fifth wheels, and travel trailers, providing extra stability across different setups. Since compatibility depends on your specific RV’s jack design and frame structure, it is important to double-check that your RV setup will work with this kit before purchasing.

If you want a long-term fix to RV movement without adding extra stabilizers, this is one of the best options.

Conclusion

Finding the right stabilizer depends on how much movement you want to eliminate and what type of RV you have.

Whether you need a simple fix for occasional shaking or a permanent solution for a rock-solid setup, these four stabilizers cover a range of needs.

Best Simple Stabilizer

Discount Parts RV Stabilizer (Light travel Trailers, smaller RVs)

For campers who want an easy and budget-friendly way to reduce movement, these stabilizer jacks provide extra support to the frame. They are lightweight, tool-free, and compact, making them great for travel trailers and smaller RVs. While they won’t eliminate all movement, they are a quick and affordable way to cut down on bounce.

My Choice – Best for Reducing Front-to-Back Sway

BAL X-Chock Wheel Stabilizer (Travel Trailers, Fifth Wheels, RVs)

For tandem axle RVs, these stabilizers prevent the wheels from moving, which helps reduce front-to-back movement. They are compact, easy to install, and make a big difference in stability. If your RV rocks when people move inside, these are a simple but effective solution.

Best for Fifth Wheel Front-End Stability

Camco Eaz-Lift King Pin Tripod Stabilizer (Fifth Wheels)

Fifth wheels often have movement at the front landing gear, and this tripod stabilizer helps support the king pin to keep it more stable. It is adjustable, easy to store, and holds up to 5000 pounds. A great option if your fifth wheel still moves after lowering the landing gear.

Best Permanent Stabilization System

Lippert JT’s Strong Arm (Fifth Wheels, Travel Trailers)

For those who want to eliminate movement completely, this permanent bolt-on stabilizer is the best option. It locks landing gear and stabilizer jacks to the frame, preventing both side-to-side and front-to-rear movement. Installation takes one to two hours, but once installed, there’s no need for adjustments each time you set up.

Frequently Asked Questions About RV Stabilizers

How to Use RV Stabilizer Jacks?

Most campers come with stabilizer jacks, either manual, electric, or automatic. No matter the type, the feet need a solid surface to rest on.

I always use RV jack blocks under each foot, no matter what surface my trailer is on. This widens the base and protects the ground. Jacks should be firmly on the ground but not lifting the RV—they reduce movement, not carry the trailer’s weight.

While stabilizer jacks help, they don’t eliminate all movement. Adding extra RV stabilizers, like the ones in this review, can make a big difference. We use multiple types for the best stability.

What Kind of Grease Should I Use for RV Stabilizer Jacks?

Dirt builds up fast on stabilizer jacks and moving parts, so keeping them greased makes setup smoother and extends their life.

I always clean off dirt before applying grease so it lasts longer. For extra noisy or rusty jacks, use waterproof bearing grease. It lubricates well but attracts dirt, so cleaning the screw rods yearly is a good idea.

A lighter option is silicone spray like WD-40. It protects against corrosion, lubricates, and doesn’t attract dirt like bearing grease.

Should I Lower Stabilizer Jacks When Storing My RV?

It depends. If no one is inside, stabilizers aren’t needed, and many leave them up to avoid extra setup. Pests like mice and bugs can also use them as an entry point.

Some RV owners put them down for theft prevention or extra peace of mind. If storing in a windy area, lowering them can help keep the RV stable. In a covered or secured space, leaving them up is fine.
