Stabilization

[qmrichardson]

When I bought my Bighorn, I thought the 6-point stabilizing system would be enough to keep the RV from rocking much but when you have a 10-year, I quickly learned it isn't enough. What has made a world of difference for me was adding a touch- point to the ground in the very front of the RV, as well as, all the way to the very rear. Luckily, my rear hitch mount I added on made for a perfect venue to setup a rear stabilizer.

I installed the Steadyfast stabilizers on mine. What a difference!

What is the make and part number of the rear stabilizer you used. I want to do the same thing. My DW wanted me to add permanent rear jacks. I like your solution better.

I used the Curt adjustable hitch # 13703. It's on Amazon for about $197. The mounting holes don't line up, so I used a hand drill to make new holes. This hitch is made of a very high quality steel, so drilling it isn't easy... I tarted with small bts and worked my way up to te larger bits. If you can find a machine shop to do it, that would be much easier.
