It is a good idea to always carry one anyhow.) it can be used to provide additional support. Assuming you had 14" wheels, it seems the best you can do is to upgrade to 15", which you are apparently doing. Reports of blow-outs are diminishing (not disappearing) after TM has gone to the larger wheel. Just be sure you have adequate clearance for the larger wheels, as you may need to install a kit to raise your TM.

You are right on the stabilizers I would not use them for that weight.
I wish I could go with 15 inch tires but I get my TM in the garage by 2 inches, and the dealer put on new tires for us in May. I do have the slim AC so that is perfect for the height.
We get our new La-Z-Boy chair tomorrow so I will open the TM up on the street for a couple of days and put in the new speakers and some other things.
I will send pictures of the chair in the TM, it is the (Anderson) model just for those who would be interested, don’t forget I got this chair on a 3 day sale for $299.00 and the back comes off. If you upgrade to a different model TM you can always use it, or just put it in your home if you leave the camping world, it is the smallest BUT very nice & comfortable.
I am not sure what TM charges for the chair from the factory? but I think this is the best of two worlds.
