Just wondered what some of the tried and true remedies of reducing camper bounce are once we are all set up? Its not bad, but for me though I notice a lot of that stuff so its a little annoying.
solutions?

Especially with longer units, the frame will flex a bit, or the suspension movement, will allow you to feel movement in the trailer. I found that a good set of between the wheel chocks helps tremendously. Some others have installed another set of stab jacks near the axles. This seems to help out a bit also. Some others have the portable jacks that they place near the axles and remove later.

I was annoyed by the movement too. I did some online research and went into a guys TT who installed the following equipment which eliminated almost all movement. I was impressed at the reduction of movement over a standard scissor jack. He used BAL Stabilizers and these wheel chocks. The BALs did a great job and reducing side to side movement and the wheel chocks eliminated the front to back movement. I was going to install these same things on my TT but ended up moving into a MH.

If its just a weekend trip, I keep it hitched, lower the tongue and set up the stabilizers. Takes care of it. Longer trips, I use the Bal chocks and the stabilizer jacks to add support at the 4 corners

I just bought a set of these:
BAL Lock Stablizers
I haven't installed them yet but I suspect they will help considerably. I did notice one of my stab jacks had a cracked weld where it attaches to the frame. I'm sure that it is contributing to the TT movement as well. Just something to check...
