I have been reading about the various fifth wheel stablizers, i.e. JT Strong Arm and the Plug-It-Right Stablizer system. The first looks to be a heavier system that the latter? Cheaper also.
I have a rear electric stablizer on a Grand Junction. I couldn't see for sure if either of these systems would work with the rear electric jack stablizers. I have used the KingPin Stablizer, wheel locks, etc. and still get motion when one is moving around in the trailer. Continiously having to readjust the rear stablizer to get max stablization.
Does anyone have any experience with the JTs or the UPlugIt brand? If so your thoughts and recommendations.
Thanks, Glen, Terry, MS

I bought and installed the Jt's and love em. Easy to install and hold the 5'er rock solid. Nothing to store once installed.

Many, many, many, many threads here about JT's and how good they are!
Like I have said in all of them - they are the best value for any accessory I have ever bought for an RV. You get what you pay for. They are a level above any other stabilizing system both in quality and performance.

JTs are what I have. Don't need the tripod any more either.

We have some friends that have an identical 5er like ours. He told me that he would actually get 'sea sick' while reading a book, as his wife cooked meals, moving back and forth in the kitchen. He would go outside and sit at the picnic table to read. We let them walk around in ours after I installed the JT's, and they ordered them right away. I helped him install their's as well.
Trust me and others on this board....It's the best option you can buy for your rig....hands down.
Good Luck and Happy Camping

Thanks to all for the comments. Looks like the JTs are the way to go. No negatives noted anywhere.
Thanks so much.
