Fine grain reconfigurable architectures.

A stabilizer device for stabilizing fifth wheel recreational vehicles relative to a support surface where the vehicle has a connector pin extending downwardly from a strike plate mounted on the underside of the vehicle cantilever overhang at the towing end of the vehicle. A compensator having a support axis incorporates a receptacle open at at least one end and at least in part defined by a restraint surface facing toward and spaced from the support axis and adapted to receive the connector pin and thereby restrain it laterally. A pair of elongated leg members are pivotally mounted to the compensator for rotation relative thereto and are laterally spaced on either side of the support axis. In the preferred embodiment a tensioning means consisting of a ratchet and pawl interconnects the leg members at a distance from their respective pivot points for drawing the legs toward one another thereby causing the compensator to bear in compression against the strike plate and stabilize the vehicle.
