How to Stabilize your RV

Stop the sway! Set up your RV for a comfortable stay by taking steps to minimize as much horizontal and vertical movement as possible.

You’ll need levelling jacks and blocks to reduce the up and down motion, wheel chocks to stop the tires moving, and stabilizers to reduce that rocking, side to side motion.

Step 1: Level your RV

Easy if your RV has an auto-levelling system — start by engaging the levelling jacks. If there’s a big difference in ground height from side to side, put RV Traveler’s Choice Levelling Blocks under the tires on the lower side. They also add stability and help balance the weight of the RV.

Step 2: Place wheel chocks in front of and behind the wheels

Wheel chocks stop any wheel movement. The RV Traveler’s Choice version is durable, high-impact plastic with a cross-ribbed surface for grip. Position them firmly against the treads.

Step 3: Use stabilizers to stop any vertical movement

Once the RV is level, stabilizers eliminate the side-to-side sway. RV Traveler’s Choice scissor jacks go underneath the frame and take the rocking out.

All of it is available through our online shop or at the parts counter.
