Question:
I recently purchased a fifth wheel camper with auto level. When sleeping in the front bedroom I can feel sway when the kids are bouncing around etc... Are these King Pin stabilizers recommended for campers with auto level? If so or not, Are leveling jack braces better at taking out sway from the camper? Thanks for your help.

The Ultra-Fab 5th Wheel King Pin Tripod Stabilizer - Steel - 37" to 50" - 5,000 lbs # UF19-950001 are great for taking away the bounce/sway and can be used with your auto-leveling 5th wheel especially the bounce in the space over the king pin. The auto-leveling jacks are great for making your system level, but are not any different in stabilizing than any other jacks. The nice feature is that stabilizing is easy once level because it is simply adding support to remain level.
If you desire more stabilization, I recommend the tripod stabilizer mentioned as well as the Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Electric Stabilizer with Dual Motors - 30" Lift - 6,000 lbs # UF39-941705 or Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Electric Stabilizer for Trailers and RVs - 22" Lift - 6,000 lbs # UF39-941707. These power jacks are the nicest, but you can use manual stabilizing jacks to help with the movement as well such as the Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks - 24" Lift - 6,500 lbs - Qty 2 # UF48-979002.
