Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I have been looking at the Winfield stabilizers for my fifth wheel. I would be interested in hearing opinions from anyone who has them on their fifth wheel. Do they work? Are they worth the money.
The testimonials on their website indicate folks are happy.
However, the testimonials indicate the same type of results I get with the kingpin tripod I use. Once I put the weight on the tripod the rig becomes rock solid, no side to side or forward to backward rocking.
Looks like the Winfield would be easier to setup since they mount to the landing jacks. I just don't know if it they would provide the same level of solid the tripod offers. I can actually raise the landing gear off of the ground while the tripod is in place (I built it out of steel tubing). This allows me to place extra boards if I'm having trouble getting the 5er level.
Also has come in handy once when one of the landing gear quit working and I had to take it a part, also when I had to raise the 5er up higher than the landing gear would go to solve a hitch problem.
