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!!

My wife and I are new to the RV World. We bought a 2017 Coachman Prism 2015LE Class C. It does not come with stabilizers. What would you recommend we do for stability and leveling?

Stabilizers are for stabilizing, not leveling. Try without for a while. Level with plastic blocks or wood planks. I removed stabilzers from my TT as unnecessary.

After leveling with blocks under the tires, the Quick and Cheap solution is to use bottle jacks on the frame to stabilize and level. It's extra work but can provide a solid feel when camping.

The more expensive and easier solution is to have automatic leveling jacks installed.

 I'd go to Quadra and install Big Foot Leveling jacks.  Wouldn't have a rig without them.  Just our opinion.  After we had them installed on the other rig Linda said, "Why did we wait to get this done."  BTW, makes changing tires a lot easier - and safer with leveling jacks - which are not - as was commented, stabilizers.   Again, my view.

Quadra is having  an Anniversary sale (30%off or $1998 for specified Class C models) on their Bigfoot Platimum 4 point system.  http://www.thebigfootleveler.com/4-point-automatic-system.html

Hydraulic or electric levelers are pricey yet very handy. You just need to push the button to level.

You might want to check out Ultra-Fab Stackable Stabilizers. I saw some at etrailer.com for $50. I have a set that came with an old motorhome I had but I never used them. At 6,000 lbs capacity they should work OK and they're light and easy to set up. Just my deux cents.
