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

They are aluminum and super light.

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.
