Expert Reply:

If you are still feeling a bit of side-to-side sway even with a leveling system in your 5th wheel camper, the Ultra-Fab 5th Wheel King Pin Tripod Stabilizer # UF19-950001 will absolutely help minimize the movement you are feeling. It holds the king pin of your 5th wheel and because it has three legs that form a triangle, the force gets distributed among the legs to stop the trailer from excessive movement.

This stabilizer works with king pins that are between 37" and 50" off the ground but you can add 8" to the set up by adding the Leg Extensions # UF19-950002.

The accompanying photo is one a customer sent in using the stabilizer, and I have also added a link to a video review for you to check out.
