If you own an RV or are thinking of buying an RV, you should consider purchasing a kingpin tripod stabilizer. 5th wheel tripod stabilizers can reduce the side-to-side and back-and-forth movement up to 95%. The movement cannot be 100% eradicated because of the flexible camper design and changing ground surface. Just think, no more shaking every time the washer/dryer goes on or when the kids run through the RV.
There are many features to look at when you buy a kingpin stabilizer. These include:
- Performance
- Ease of setup – Most tripod stabilizers can be set up by you in just a few minutes.
- Height adjustment and lifting capacity – Look at both your 5th wheel overhang height and weight compared to the tripod’s capacity.
- Price – You can plan to spend $100-$200. The more heavy duty the kingpin stabilizer is, the higher the price.
- Consumer reviews – Read what other RVers have reported
- Research and shop online – Look for a website that features several stabilizers from various companies.
