Best place for the bikes is in the storage area underneath. Never have had a problem.

No popping anymore on our Big Country. We just use some cheap rachet adjustable automotive jack stands under the frame next to the landing jacks. Set them in place, rachet them up and retract the landing jacks. Takes only a minute. Sleep peacefully.
