I have a Keystone 2011 Outback 298RE that rocks when we have it completely set up. When you start up the steps or be it in the trailor, it rocks from side to side. Done understand what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions

make sure all the stabilizers are down all the way. I have noticed on my camper that after I put them down, later one of the jacks will be raised off the ground just a little. I don't know if I just do not put them down all they way, somebody in the campground is messing with me, or something else.

A few??? Does this trailer have a Mor/Ryde or similar suspension system? Do you have scissor jacks or the electric stabilizers??
If you have Mor/Ryde you may want to add 2 more jacks 1 on each side near the tires.
If you have the other jacks or electrics use a piece of wood under each. I like to carry 4x6 x 10" blocks to provide a good surface for the jacks.

Our 5er moved a lot as people moved about inside too. I bought the BAL X Chocks to put between the tires on both sides. It didn't completely take all the movement out, but it sure did make a HUGH improvement. Worth a try.

Short of putting it up on bricks, you are going to have some movement. We have movement but we are not in there too often so no big deal.

I would definitely make sure you are using some wood underneath the scissor jacks if thats what you have. A 6x6 piece of wood about a foot long works good. I've tried using a 2x6, but if you are having to extend the jacks all the way out or pretty much most of the way, then it seems less sturdy. The 6x6, helps take up some of the room. We also have to go back and tighten up one or two after walking in it some. Things settle and move. Once we do the tighten up, thing are good. We also use plastic wheel chocks on each side of the camper. One in front of the front wheel and one in back of the rear wheel. We then use x-chocks between the wheels. It all helps.

I just bought some ultra fab stabilizers from rv adventure.net. We have not installed them yet but they did come highly recommended.

Ive been fighting this issue as well. I have the xchocks and use wood under the electric jacks as much as i can, but still the same problem. I tweak the jacks dailey without any improvement. Ive chocked it up to the light weight frame on our ultra light and suspect additional jacks by the tires might help. Im just to cheap and can deal with the wiggle for now.
