I want to try one of these... it's pricy though:

I always try to make the 3 scissor jacks into a tri-pod. I placed them under the frame rails close to the door's step, and under the slider. It's solid and no noticeable wobble.

I use these and place them on both sides halfway down (near the middle) supporting the frame:

Once our stabilizers are firmly on the soil (we normally boondock or camp on dirt) I will go 1 full turn clockwise, result is there is minimal sway. Been doing it that way for 5 years with our 177.

I always bring with me 3 scissor jacks for extra support. I like mine firm.

Some sway is normal. The amount of sway depends on how far the stabilizers are extended. It is possible to limit the amount of sway by setting the jacks on large blocks.

I put a tiny bit of weight on mine to make sure they're snug. The trailer raises between 1/4" and 1/2", but the vast majority of the weight is still on the wheels and tongue jack.

It is normal, both my pods did that. After a while, you don't even notice it.
