Anderson Levelers in Canada?

I can order a pair of the Anderson Levelers from Amazon at a pretty hefty cost. $137 plus an "import fee" plus tax with free shipping. Getting pretty close to $180.
The Amazon seller is PJ Trailer where you can by the Andersons and bypass Amazon. The price is the same, no "import fee" but $40 shipping. Works out pretty much the same.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a Canadian source to try? Anderson lists dealers in Canada and I've tried a couple but they don't seem to stock anything.
I don't mind paying for good stuff but I have to admit that $180 for 4 chunks of plastic and a bag to carry them in seems a bit much!

The couple of cut up pressure treated fence boards that I use for levelling my 19' were much cheaper than $180 and are still going strong after 10 years. I would have no use for the Anderson levellers.

Well, to start, it's "Andersen" not "Anderson", which might make a difference to what you find when searching online.

I checked for dealers in the Andersen website, and with a search for locations near Fredericton (chosen because it's in the middle of New Brunswick), it shows only one... indicated on the map in NB but actually located in Ontario! These people are clearly incompetent.

Hi: Fender... I got mine at a local RV dealer. One per box so I needed two. I think they were $79.95 ea., and required about a 1" adjustment, but it was a few years ago!!! Alf

Camco Curve levelers (set of two $70 CAD from Amazon.ca) work great IMO, and they don't need to be trimmed like the Anderson Levelers.

I bought the Anderso/en levelers for our upcoming 21C for one reason and one reason only.

I am most definitely a Princess and the Pea when it comes to sleeping. Any unlevelyness (if that's a word) and I'm not a happy camper.

This is also what we use and they work great, same lift as the Andersens and no cutting required

On Amazon.ca in the last 2 days the Camco levelers went up in price by $20 and the Anderson down by $20. I ordered the Anderson.
Go figure.

I use scrap 1x and 2x boards to level my Casita. With my new-to-me Escape with tandem axles, I'll just need longer ones. They're free.

I like the stability of boards, the Hopkins kit keeps them stable. The lumber cost more than the kit did…
The two long pieces can strap down onto the bumper.
