Why does my RV shake when I walk?
In our younger years, we may have put up signs gleefully, saying if the trailer is rockin’ don’t come knockin’…but nowadays, if it is rocking, then there’s a cause for concern, and it’ll need to be fixed! In most places, when you find a good spot for the night, then you may find that your RV is a little unsteady, but this is usually the norm, yet there are ways that you can avoid this. You can solve this problem in one of the two ways. The first way is to make sure that your trailer or RV’s jacks are all the way down and in a secure and stable position. Then, you can use wheel locking chocks to keep them in place, and never feel a shaky or rocky RV again. The reason your RV or travel trailer vehicle shakes is simply because of the design of the vehicle. Most RVs and trailers are designed with a flexible system that is supported by springs, tires and other components that makes it easy to pitch up, but also to take on the road with you. As a result of this, they can sometimes be a little too flexible, and lead to shaking or rocking back and forth when you are walking inside of it. Basically, they are not designed to be static, or they wouldn’t be called travel trailers. Therefore, there is some give in the support system, which can lead to some movement. However, not everyone enjoys a shaky RV, so you may want to rectify this issue. Another reason why your RV is shaking a lot could be because of the ground that you are on. One of the most common reasons that RVs and trailers shake when you walk is because they are not on a solid, flat surface, as some sites have rocky grounds or bumpy grass. If you are not on solid ground, even the most stable of RVs is going to shake and rock back and forth. The best way to avoid this is to check the ground where you are going to park first, before parking on it. This will ensure that it is a suitable area, and it will be able to take the full weight of your RV and everything in it! The honest answer to a shaking RV is that it is not stable, whether it is the ground it is parked on, or the system of the RV it is using. If it is the latter, then there are a few ways that you can make your RV more stable.Can Sliding RVs Cause Shaking When Walking Inside?
Certainly, stepping into an RV equipped with slides might lead to an unstable feeling. In order to prevent RV sliding, it is essential to fully extend the leveling jacks and make sure the vehicle is parked on solid ground. Additionally, using wheel chocks can greatly improve the RV’s steadiness, markedly decreasing the level of shake.
