king pin tripod or landing gear stabilizers

[Gaffer]

My 2 cents, the tripod stabilizer is a waste of money. Get the JT Strongarms or equivalent for the landing gear, front and back. For max stability get the 6 point auto-level.

Ditto the JT's. And they self store so you don't have to deal with storing them like you do with the tripod.

Just brought home our new Road Warrior last week and it has the 6-point Level-Up system. It seems pretty solid sitting on the gravel pad with no stabilizing system attached. Contemplating whether or not I should buy a kingpin stabilizer or not (this is our first Fifth Wheel). My gut says to wait and see how it feels during our first outing in a couple of weeks.

A year and many camping trips later, I can unequivocally say that, if you have the 6-point Level-Up system (or equivalent) you should not need a tripod. Using Level-Up and chocking the wheels tight, it is rock solid. I can't see carrying a tripod and taking up precious cargo space for what might be a nominal improvement.
