Andersen-3604 Camper Leveler
Has anybody ever used these? They seem a bit pricey, but I like how they work. Your thoughts?

Folks next to me at Springstream used them. I do not think they had any issues with them. They looked very easy to use and solid.

They seem to be well-thought-out and the feedback on them has been good so far. We sell them in the parts department, with a sound and video equipped display. I think I can rattle off all the advantages of them in my sleep, now...

How wide are they? Would they sink into soft ground more easily than something like the Lynx levellers? The demo was on grass and that looked OK.

I want to get one to replace my single-wheel lift leveller. Looks like a good idea.

The website pictures leveling a tandem axle trailer using just one leveler on one wheel. But it also shows using two. Think we need two for a tandem trailer?

Looks like about $50. US for one. Not too bad if the work and it looks like they do.

That looks very cool! I'd like to hear from users if it really works. Since it's about as wide as a tire, it might sink in over time. I'll bet version 2.0 is wider.

For you single-axle Bambi lovers you might try this:
I just ordered one. I've used the BAL tire single-wheel tire chock extensively, and plan to use one of them on the opposite wheel.

I have the BAL leveller. We've loved it, had it for many years now. The only issue we ever have is on really soft ground. We carry a small block of 2x6 to roll the wheel on to, so we can get the leveller under it.
But the plastic roll-on leveller looks easier, smaller to pack, lighter weight. And I've seen it for $35 locally.

I had the BAL leveler and found it was not big enough or heavy duty enough to use with my single axel Airstream or Argosy trailers. I gave it away. Great for a tent trailer though.
Glad yours works for you though Stefrobrts.

I never actually use the Lynx levelers to level the trailer. I put them under the tongue jack and stabilizers when camping on grass or sand.

I guess we must be lucky that it fit ours so well. It can certainly handle our trailer, but at 2500# we're probably lighter than some tent trailers! Our only problem has been taking turns cranking the darn thing up when we're at a site that's way off of level. Makes for tired arms!

Road Rulers link. I meant it was $26 for the shipping and $49 each for the levelers.
