I saw these in the store recently and a lot of folks seem to be using them.
I use a block of wood...
That site/link you posted say- Eliminates nearly all movement and sway in parked RV's and trailers
Seen any improvement?
(Note, I have a travel trailer)

Ed Pauly , Chipster , I have been using the Anderson blocks and overall I do like them. They are bulky to store but lighter than the equivalent number of wooden blocks to reduce the distance in extending the landing legs and stabilizing jacks. I still felt plenty of sway before installing the BAL lock-arm stabilizing bars so the statement that they eliminate "nearly all movement" is a stretch IMHO.Brian

We use them - always for the front and in the rear when they fit. Magnets hold them to the feet, and I cut 16” squares of 3/4” stall mat to go under each - prevents rocks from breaking the plastic base edges. They are very stable, lightweight and easy to store - I stack all 4.2021 Solitude S-2930 RL

Ed Pauly We have found that the wheel locks that expand between the two tires are the most effective at stopping the movement in a t.t.. The majority of movement is fore and aft. The only caveat is to be cautious of how much pressure is applied while placing them. Too much could mess with alignment.

I bought a pair used and place them under the front jacks of our 5th wheel. Pretty convenient and replaces the wood blocks I used previously. I did not notice any significant difference in movement of the 5th wheel when walking around.John & Cindy

I use them on the front of my 303rls and love them. I do have a 3/4 plywood pad I put them on when on gravel. Others have cracked them and I think its because they dig in when lowering and rasing. No problems as of now2021 Reflection 303RLS

No. I use the rubber step pads. you affix them to the bottom of your jack feet and they stay attached. l`ve talked to a lot of people who said that the anderson blocks were bad to break. I get mixed reviews. With the step pads you don`t have to worry about storing them.Bryan & Shelia

Use four on the rear jacks. Tried the front, but seemed to mess with the auto leveling. Would not let the front go down far enough at beginning of auto level. Still have sway in the RV. Maybe some improvement. Also use wheel chocks which probably help more.

We have used them since we picked up our 337 two years ago. They are easy to use and I have no problems storing them in the RV. I purchased four but have only needed to use them on the front legs. I also heard stories about failure but no issues so far and that is with quite a few trips. Have used them on gravel without any additional padding. One thing to be aware of regarding the magnets. They tend to corrode pretty fast and are a pain to replace when corroded. The small screw holding the magnets in the bottom tend to strip pretty easy as well. Anderson has sent me out replacement magnets with screws at no charge.Mark & Ellen
