    Stabilizers for 28bh

    I've havent been able to find any info on stabilizer for refections with 4 point auto leveling. I've looked into the two main players I know of, JT Strong Arm and Steady Fast.

    Do any of you have experience with these what are pros and cons?

    I believe they JT Strong Arm could be problematic on my rig due to no clear cross member in the rear Jack area.

    Hmm, our Reflection actually seems fairly stable. With 3 kids running around there's just a bit of wiggle. And that's with the feet extended pretty far out. Our parking spot at home is a bit sloped and I don't have more than 4" of wood built up right now.

    I wonder how well one of those king pin tripods would work. The BAL tripod has a ratchet so you can really load the tripod.

    We had a king pin tripod for our Cougar and I hated it. It worked well but was a pain to drag it out and set it up. Also we use the fifth overhang to store bikes under.

    If you are a member of the "Grand Design Reflection 28BH Owners" facebook page... then go there and search for "Strong Arm" (two words) on that page and look for the post with about 19 comments. There is a user that put them on, and I am sure he will give you some feedback on the JT StrongArm product. He also posted some pictures. If you aren't a member of that page... then join!

    I have a 2017 28bh and have not looked at the StrongArm stabilizers yet, but I have used 6" x 6" blocks under the leveling jacks and I think it helps stabilizing the trailer.
