I haven't tried not using our chocks but because I was lazy I only used one for 6 months on our winter in Az. I feel it would still be a good idea but it all helps. chevman

I just installed the Eliminator Stablizer from Ultra-Fab. They have locked the trailer down and taken all the movement out. I think the key to success here is the need some weight to the rear once you lock in, then lock in the front and in turn drop the nose a hair down thus having weight locking in both the rear and front stablizers.

Seem to work great at this point.

I went with the Ultr-Fab version of The Eliminator. These are exact in appearance and features as the JTs but cheaper. I got these on sale at Camping World a few weeks ago at $249.

Many participants at a recent rally of Titaninum owners purchased stabilizers from Winfield RV Products. They make stabilizers that fit the front landing gear and also the scissor jacks. Both stabilizers are mounted without the need for any drilling and are very easy to use. Once installed they make your unit rock solid. You can check them out at www.winfieldrvproducts.com.
