nibs Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Assuming you have the parking brake applied as well as being in Park or a low gear (if standard) then the Toyota should not be rocking fore and aft. To stabilize the coach from up and down motion or swaying, you might try putting a couple of bottle jacks under the frame just behind the rear spring shackles, if that stabilizes the rig sufficiently for you, buy a pair of scissor jacks at any rv supply store and weld them to the frame at the rear of the coach then you can crank them down when parked, they can also be used to help level within reason. Most of us just live with it tho'...............Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nibs Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I hope you got it that the bottle jacks (or what ever you try) is for a test before spending money on something fixed to the coach. I have seen people use the cheap jack stands with screw adjustment. You could probably get them for peanuts at a yard sale, but then you gotta store them someplace....Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futar Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Wally World has the scissor jacks el cheapo. They're getting hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powdrhound Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 When we first got the rig, my lady insisted that the rocking was too much, making her feel odd. So I got some of the aluminum trailer jacks. We used them for our first camping trip to the lake. I have not used them since. It is just not that much of a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weluvtoys Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 If you stabilze the little bugger, then you would no longer need your "If this motorhome is rockin, don't bother nockin"....sign... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
