Anyone with experience with the "Steadyfast" add-on stabilizers? Looking at their web site, it seems to only attach to one forward landing gear leg and to one rear scissor jack? Am I missing something?

It looks to me that it has 2 on the front and 1 on the back. But, $364 for a 3 bar stabilizer??
You can get the JTs for $299 shipped and it has 6 bars!!
Go with a proven product.

BlackSilver,
It looks like your question was not answered. Basically the Steadyfast unit braces the frame of the trailer by utilizing foot plates at two locations. It uses braces that have no play and both push and pull on the frame. Most of the six brace systems have braces with loose joints and the trailer is jacked up or down to remove the play. So the six braces are each only holding the trailer in one direction. More information is available on the website.

Check out the braces made by Winfield RV Products at www.winfieldrvproducts.com. They make braces for the front landing gear and sissor jacks that are completely bolt on using existing holes. These braces in combination with B&L Tire Chocks will eliminate all front to rear and side to side movement.

I have a motor home so I don't need stabilizers but I stumbled on this and thought I'd add my two cents.
I have seen the SteadyFast on a friends 5th wheel. He wanted to show me how good it was so he made me get in it and try rocking his rig with them engaged and unengaged. The difference was pretty impressive and it only took a minute to go from engage to unengaged.
Good luck
Mike
