We took our new Freedom Elite 30FE for an overnighter to try everything out. Glad to say everything worked. The only issue was how much movement we felt every time either of moved at night. This made me realize we need to stabilize the vehicle in camp. I have ordered jack stands but I really don't know how to place them. Does one need to stabilize both front and rear? Where is the best and safest spots to place the jacks?
My prior class C has three stabilizer (scissor) jacks installed. There were 2 in the rear and one center front. They should be mounted to the frame or house if possible since you want to remove the sway caused by the house interaction with the chassis suspension.

As a note, the one center front on that coach did very little to stabilize the rig and the coach should have had a fourth one installed with two positioned front and the two in the rear.
