Rv/Camper Stabilizers

We have a 26 foot “couples camper” it is our first RV. My wife always complained about the shaking when either of us walked up or down the RV. So this is what I came up with.

2 Eight foot two by fours treated (2 x 4 )

4 eyebolts 9/16

8 washers wilt minimum 9/16 hole for eyebolt

4 9/16 locknuts
Drill with bit 9/16

Chopsaw or miter box
2 ratching straps

The camper RV will need to be measured from the frame to ground. Once you have that measurement you will need to measure your boards about 10 or so inches longer. You will want to use a scrap board to get your measurements exact also can be used for drilling holes.

You will need to cut your 2x4 ‘s at 45 degrees chop saw or miter box,( make sure you measure to the long cut of the 45 degree. My camper required 36” cuts also have your cuts facing the same way on each side. Learned that the hard way. Next make your drill holes about 8 inches from bottom you can experiment with your scrap board for your rv.

You need to measure about 8 inches from bottom of the short inside of the 2 x 4 to drill the hole for the eyebolt. You may want to use your scrap 2 x 4 to get exact distance for your camper. This is the height for the strap to sit on the bottom off the ground. You need to put your washer under the eye of the eyebolt short side of the 45 degree cut facing the camper. On the outside add another washer on the long side of the 45 degree cut.

You may want to add a bead of oil to the threads and use a screwdriver to hold the eye bolt while tightening the locknuts.

Position your 2 x 4 s and hook the strap to one eyebolt and toss the remainder of the strap to the other side of the rv. I set my board on front and back of rv where there is also an angle iron connected to the frame. Just Finnish connecting your strap and ratchet away.
