With leveling ramps your camper can easily roll down the ramp. We then went to lego blocks and they were better, but for 90% of our leveling now we use one Andersen Camper Leveler and one Andersen Rapid Jack. We shortened the Andersen Leveler about 1 1/2" to fit between the tires. Being the Andersens are cupped you have less chance of the camper rolling, and better fine tuning than we ever got with ramps (because the camper wants to roll down the ramps).

Enjoy,

We use the Andersen Camper Leveler. We purchased them after our pickup trip. We used Lego block types and find the Andersen quicker and more convenient.

Why one of each instead of two levelers?

The Andersen Jack can lift our camper off the ground to change a tire as well as level the trailer. I don't want to carry three if two work perfectly.

Enjoy,

This is what we're using now and finally have a system I like, doesn't take up an inordinate amount of space and is guaranteed not to break. They do offer the single pack which is what we opted for and so far it has not disappointed. And made in the USA.

I have one of these (single axle trailer), love it! Really works slick.

I use the Camco drive on levelers for our 21.

Kind of lucked out here because the Andersen's were sold out when I went to buy them, so I opted for the Camco. I've read many say the Andersen's are a little long to fit between the tandems and they had to trim off an inch or two. The Camco ones are small enough to fit between the tires as is. There is a two pack available too.


As far as what I think, I feel like these make it really easy.

I used Anderson levelers, if you get them look for a piece of rubber or some such that can go under them when you are on gravel or wet grass, they slide fairly easy.

I have had them slide on asphalt, also.

FWIW/FYI: The Beech Lane levelers come with the anti-skid pad to be used on pavement. I posted the Amazon link above but here's the mfg link for those interested: https://www.beech-lane.com/camper-levelers

No relationship, other than being a satisfied customer.

I love our Anderson levelers! They are so easy to use. Get em behind the tires and back up till my wife says the level bubble on the camper is centered, no guessing how many blocks and how high...just drive on until level. Once in a while they are not enough and we do carry 2 sets of the Walmart lego levelers. We do use the lego levelers for landing gear and stabilizers all the time. I have had our Andersons slide but only when getting set up...but then I am a big fan of chocking the tires in all directions I have four as well as the x chocks(more a stabilizer than a chock in my mind) and the chocks that came with the Andersons. I see that many of the levelers including the Andersons are now being sold with an anti slip mat. I will be looking for some rubber roofing scraps to work this way but for free!

Quick and dirty solution - I put a small rag under the leveler on asphalt and no more slipping! It's not an elegant looking solution but it works.

Camco Curve Levelers. Less expensive, don't need to be trimmed.



One hint pull the trailer on to the yellow curved part rather than pushing it back. This will make it easier to unlatch your hitch.



No defacing of the rocks in Arches National Park by Camco to my knowledge.

We used a Camco in the middle but it kept sliding too often, so we cut the Andersen shorter and it very rarely slides. The Camco sits at home. The chock is nice though.

The Andersen defacing happened nearly three years ago and Andersen paid dearly: personal embarrassment, court fines, loss of being able to camp in federal lands, and loss of business revenue. I'm over it. It's called forgiveness.

Enjoy,

Were you try to use two different types of curved levelers at the same time?

As I mentioned above, pull on to the leveler rather than pushing on to it. I haven't had any issues with sliding.

His company has 14 million in annual revenue. He paid a $1,000 fine, $858.32 restitution, and a processing fee of $30.

That's not paying dearly, that's privilege.

When he sets up so a reasonable percentage of his sales are donated to support national lands I'll consider forgiveness.

All of these wedge based systems are great. I use the Andersen levelers and the ten pack of levelers that came with the trailer. I use all of them. I only use the Andersen wedges when there is substantial tilt to the site. I do wish I had a case or a bag for them.

I cut one wedge down too. Love them.
