Front end rocking
We have a BH28 with four electronic jacks. The front bedroom continues to rock when others walk around. We purchased and hooked-up a tripod, but the rocking continues. Does anyone have suggestions on how to eliminate/minimize the rocking in the front bedroom?

A Steadyfast system or JT's Strong Arm system will greatly help. I used the Steadyfast because it was the easiest to install.

We use these two items on our TRAILER if we’re staying more than an overnight. It helps tremendously. Sometimes I need to tighten the jack stands as they settle a bit. I use wood block under them.

I see this is your first post, so first off welcome to the forum.
The pictures below are of a trailer just like mine, a 315RLTS, that was camping near us. They had the stabilizers others here are referencing. Unfortunately I have no idea if they work on a 28BH 5vr.
When you referenced "four electronic jacks", are they the stabilizers or do you have the self-leveling system? I suspect that may make a difference, though again, I don't know for sure. The 315RLTS has a stabilizer system.

I'm assuming you have a 28BH fifthwheel. I have the same fifthwheel. Couple of questions: do you have wheel chocks to limit motion? How far are the front legs extended? Rear legs are extended as well? Trailer is level front to back and side to side?
I use a tripod on extended stays. Not sure it's really needed though. I do like the tripod as a means to help me from running into the kingpin.2018 Reflection 28BH
