I always put down the stabilizers when parked, which most of the time is enough to reduce swaying from moving around in the trailer. For a super duper stable configuration, I sometimes add additional chocks between both pairs of tandem wheels to further reduce trailer movement.

Girlfriend likes me to put the stabilizers down. Doesn't bother me with them up, but during a rain/wind storm, I got seasick. Put the jacks down, and I felt better.

I have mine up right now as I'm planning to move the trailer soon after parking. Yesterday I jumped up into it to get something I'd left in and must have hit the sweet spot as it really wobbled. I usually have them down at home or camping.

In the Campster I had to put them down- otherwise if I entered through the rear-facing door and didn't have enough weight up front the whole back end tipped.
