John,
The use of stabilizing jacks are purely optional.
They are used to keep the trailer from "bouncing" when you walk around in the
trailer. Some people love them, some hate them.
Most often people just use two at the rear of the
trailer where the frame meets the bumper. A few people (myself included also use
two at the front of the trailer on the A-frame where it meets the trailer
body.
There are basically two types of stabilizers. One
is removeable and the other gets mounted to the trailer frame. I prefer the
removeable type since my trailer is low to the ground and the mounted type would
drag every time I go in or out of my driveway.
Be sure to have some sort of block for the trailer
wheels. Sometimes campsites are not level and you wouldn't want the trailer roll
away from you!
