Has anyone tried to use ratchet straps on the front landing gear to stabilize a 5er? I seen this last weekend but did not get a chance to discuss it with the owner.

Didn't try straps to stabilize the front landing gears. I bought a set of braces from Winfield RV Products. They are easy to install using existing mounting holes and are very simple to adjust and tighten. Check them out at www.winfieldrvproducts.com. They also make braces for sissor jacks too. Use of braces in the front and rear if you have sissor jacks in conjunction with B&L wheel chocks will make your unit rock solid. The company also makes an attachment for your landing gear legs that you can use if the ground is uneven and you need just a small amount of difference between your legs.

I use the nylon straps/with ratchet on both the front legs & rear stabilizing jacks & yes it helps also it is cost effective.
