Recently acquired a 1964 Kustom Koach that I am converting to a mobile craft workshop to accompany our 2006 Copper Canyon Sprinter, both parked on our seasonal lot in Alberta.
She rides pretty low to the ground and came with 2 small jacks to put underneath but still bounces quite a bit when I walk around inside.
I am open to suggestions on how to stabilize her. Maybe better, bigger jacks that raise her higher? Plastic blocks under the jacks as well?
(I’d include a picture but I don’t know how to do so with a URL.)
Thanks for any suggestions.

Jack stands, one at each corner. Crank the tongue down a bit, put stands under the rear, crank it up a bit past level, put stands under front,

Look for the small flip down style pop up camper jacks.

RR ties or cement blocks under the frame.

Like Chris Bryant above...I used 4 jack stands placed under the frame near each corner and our TT was rock solid. It had a pretty beefy frame.
Some of the older TT used lightweight frames so you may need to place two more jack stands to support the middle.

Not sure what jack stands refers to... those plastic “LEGO” blocks?

Not sure what flip down jacks look like. Scissor jacks?

No, the kind of stands you use to change a tire at home.
