Morning, I have a question, we have a 2016 Winnebago Vista LX 30T and when we are parked and have the jacks down it the motorhome rocks and sways whenever we are moving around inside. Is there anything that can be done to eliminate this or at least minimize this?
Make sure all tires have some weight on them and the rig is not high off the ground. Levelers level the rig only and not designed to support the rig totally off the ground.

Hi Joe
We have the exact same rig and have never experienced any noticeable rocking or swaying when moving around inside? Good luck!

I have a 2014 Vista 30T. I also noticed swaying. I carry wood blocks with me so the jacks don’t have to extend very far. I cut my blocks to size so they don’t take up much room. The less the jacks extend the less sway.
I have a 2017 Vista LX and I have noticed sway as well. But it is much better since I got the CHF done. Driving is like night and day. Parked it's better but occasionally I will feel some movement, not all the time but occasionally.
I wonder if you have to extend the levelers more to get less sway. Sometimes I won't extend the levelers a great deal because I'm mostly level to start with. I wonder if I'm not extending enough. I always manually use the levelers.
Jack pads need to be on something solid. If not on hard ground or pavement, you need boards or the plastic supports under them. Also do the jacks before you put the slides out.

I had my step-son build 2x4 boards upright in a box. I put a small 1/2" foam pad on top of those. sometimes I'm on concrete, and sometimes gravel. I don't notice a difference between the two in the past. I just wonder if I'm not extending the levelers enough. But it has been less with the CHP.
The levelers have to be down far enough to eliminate bounce from the suspension and tires plus do have to be on solid ground or down far enough to have compacted soft ground.
On soft ground or even some soft pavement its not unusual after a short time to have the ground/pavement settle requiring the levelers be put down a little further to sure things up.
Aside from that if the levelers are hydraulic do ensure that the reservoir is full and not pumping air into the system as a little air can create a lot of bounce.
