Default Trailer Stabilizers

I was wondering if anyone is using stabilizer legs on their dual axle trailer?

I have a "Carry On" 7 x 12 dual axle and want to load the bikes while the trailer is NOT connected to a vehicle. To me, the axles seem like they are set back far enough that the trailer will not tip. I tried researching this on the net and didnt find much info.

Thanks

If you can pick up the toungue of the trailer then no you can't load a 700 pound bike into it....

If the trailer isn't hooked up hell yes use stabilizer legs if you can all 4 corners , just make sure to block the wheels also if you try loading that way . I use a small set of screw jack stands to do the same thing , bike is awkward enough loading without the trailer moving around on you .
