I'm thinking of getting a Solitude 2930RL but I don't like that it only comes with 4 point leveling. Is it possible to add the 2 center jacks to make it 6 point leveling?

Can you add center jacks to a Solitude-S 2930rl?

I own a 2930RL. I do use the 8” Anderson red buckets under the jacks - it is extremely solid with the 4 jacks. My wife has done workouts in the living room and there is virtually no shaking at all. The upper deck area (bath and bedroom) are also very solid.
I don’t see a need given the thickness of the frame and 7K axles supporting a shorter camper.2021 Solitude S-2930 RL

Not without changing out the control system. The controller is specific to a 4-jack system or 6-jack system. Other than that...I don't know why it wouldn't be technically possible (given there's a place to mount the extra jacks). What you have is documented here: https://www.granddesignrv.com/owner-...s/detail/43136
The different components are documented on LCI's support website in a PDF under the PRODUCT COMPONENTS tab here:https://support.lci1.com/ground-control-3.0-touch-pad
Here's a pic of the two for ease of reference:
Given openrangeowners testimony, I'd give the four-jack system a trial before even contemplating a change. Of course that's an opinion, so YMMV.Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.

x2 on this assessment of X-Chocks. We bought a set and after trying various different adjustments . . . took them back. They may have some affect of fore/aft motion but the predominant motion felt in a trailer is side-to-side. X-Chocks do absolutely nothing for side-to-side motion (in my opinion).
