Bottom line -- they work as advertised.

Excellent thanks....unfortunately RV Wholesalers parts department is out of commission for a while hopefully the price will be the same when they're back up and running.
Tweety's also have the same price for the JT's.

We are also looking for something to help stabilize our 5er. Our favourite campsite is very out of level front to back. We end up the the front landing gear extended about as far as you would ever want it to be (I'm 5'6 and can walk freely under the overhang but would probably still bump my head on the king pin). I can feel every gust of wind and every movement that anybody makes in the camper. It makes me kind of nervous actually. Would the JT Stabilizers help in this situation? How far do they extend (I looked on their website and saw no info on this)?
We own the BAL Deluxe Rotochok, which doesn't seem to help much, even for campsites that we don't have to extend the landing gear so much on. We were thinking of buying a king pin stabilizer but if the JT Stabilizers would work better than we would buy them instead.

We received our JTs within a week of ordering, from Tweety's in TX. This link will take you directly to the page. Same price as RV Wholesalers and also NO shipping. Can't beat that! Now we just can't wait to get them installed, as trailer is in for some warrante work!

I use the Ball Chocks (same as roto I think) and I lower my rear stablizers (that I put a 6" square of wood on).
I NEVER have any movement ...I bought the kingpin stab. but returned it,,,Did'nt need it...
I have a 32' Sunnybrook with a washer /dryer....Move's a little while spinning.
Good Luck

Tom Yeah, we found different fiver have vastly different movement, so if you have a fiver that rocks, it really rocks, others don't.
A king size bed sure beats tent camping, not as young as I used to be, that ground sure got hard

My vote is the for the PlugitRights'. 1/3 the weight as the JT's, cheaper, rock solid, easier to install and the customer service cannot be beat.
The added benefit is that you are supporting the camping community.
I could have bought the JT's but after my buddy had some issues with missing parts, I went with the PIR's Couldn't be happier.
