Daft question, but do all motor homes come with, the stabilisers that is, not the corners

They were on our Adria when we bought it and do use them because we have a long overhang and twin beds at the back. Stops the rocking when I get out of bed in the middle of the night, which wakes up my wife. Like others the winder lays on my accelerator and brake pedals when the steadies are down

Only trouble I find is that it makes you less able to know when not to call on the neighbours. After all you shouldn't be a knocking when the motorhome's a rocking. :D

Fiamma aluminium axle stands, 4 in the box.
1 put behind each front wheel and the other 2 at either end of the bar at the back which has the tow bar on.
Easy to put in place and nip up tight stops any swaying from side to side and were a reasonable price.

I've found that our Wentworth has them connected to the tow bar. They wind down then you pull a pin to drop them lower, my plan is to chock them up as tight as possible then let the air suspension down a tad to make them solid, remembering to blow it back up before we leave I might add. Opinions please from the more experienced out there, oooer mrs.

Our previous van - a short 5.5m Rapido 709F - came with them, but the steadies remained unused during our ownership.

Now we have a 6m Chausson and haven't ever felt the need for fitting corner steadies.

It's a caravan thing isn't it?

Knee, I don't think you'll get much rocking even in high winds in a Wentworth, it's a substantial van! But you'll find what does best for you after a couple of outings.(y) The air suspension nice to have though....envy :envy:. :D
