Andersen Camper Leveler-anyone tried it?

I found online this product, https://www.andersenhitches.com/Prod...r-leveler.aspx
It looks so simple and easy to use. I would love some feedback. There is a youtube video, but I'm not sure how to put in a link in this post.

There are several current threads on these. So yes I would say people have used them including myself. Much better and easier to use than the blocks in my qualified opinion.

I use them also, and like them. The only issue I have sometimes is getting enough traction to pull the heavy 34' SO up on the wedges, but I would have the same problem no matter what system I used for leveling.

I have them also, while I have only used them once, they worked well for me. I am carrying two sets of those lego type of leveler blocks that the dealer gave me but hope to discard those quickly.

Regards,

Jeffrey

I looked at using them but, thanks to the forum, I was cautious since I upgraded to 16" wheels and Michelin tires. Others have encountered clearance problems with the bigger wheels so I did not purchase them.

Odd, I have 16' wheels/tires on my 34', and no problems at all.

I have ZERO clearance issues with mine. I'll take photos and post them later tonight. There is a ton of room on my 27ft 2007 International Signature with 16inch wheels and Michelin tires.

Product works as advertised, and is easy to use. Works on concert too, as I'm using them in my storage unit.

Have used them on double axle and single axle trailers, and we LOVE them. If there is a clearance issue it would only be on double axle trailers, and one leveler can be trimmed back for use between the wheels.

Those are slick! A game changer, and even look like they take less space than the lego blocks.

We have one and only got to use it a couple times last season. I'm holding onto my BAL Single Wheel Lifter until I'm convinced about the Camper Leveler. I had some trouble with it sinking into soft ground, while the BAL Lifter has a wider base so doesn't sink in. But it's a lot nicer to carry the little Camper Leveler!

I would be curious to see how they would work on our Avion 34W (3-axle). I like the Ultimate Duffel Bag set. I guess I'd need to order an extra leveler and chock?

Can you post links to 16 inchers with issues. I do not recall seeing any of those post.

Sounds legit right there.

Oddly enough, in debate we call this the Burden of Proof fallacy: https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/burden-of-proof

I'm one who couldn't use them due to clearance between the wheels. I sent them back. I was on uneven soft ground and that probably had something to do with it. As I recall I could barely fit them in on hard, level ground. But who needs levelers on level ground.

So what do you use to determine level, so that you know when to stop?

The level on the front of the trailer, same as any other leveling device. I watch the level and signal my husband when to stop the tow vehicle.
