Best leveling blocks

[5picker]

I have Lynx Levelers that work OK but I rarely use them.
2 x 8 boards are just so much quicker.
I have various lengths that I got for free by any of the means mentioned.
I cut 45º ends on them.
I also have a few 5/4 x 6 deck boards that I use at times too.

Also pick out great fire wood or fire starter wood like 2x4 cut offs.

Around here, that will get you shot or arrested.

I used to have an assortment of lumber for leveling and jack pads. Was amazed at how much storage space was reclaimed when I replaced all of it with Lynx Levers.

I typically use 2x8,10, or 12s. Only issue is that the boards slide at times. I need to try some set of levelers.

I like repurposing and would Hazard a guess that many campers found other things to repurpose for there trailer

I wanted Anderson levelers, but they won't fit my axles without trimming them. I can't be bothered to do that. I don't mind paying a premium for a good product; I mind paying a premium for a product that I have to run through a band saw to make work. So, I got some of the cheap Camco knock-offs that fit. I haven't tried them.

I'll probably throw a 2x6 or 2x8 in the kit, too. As NMWildcat suggests, wood is heavy and bulky. Also, be careful about how you scavenge. I have a lot of new construction where I live. There are dumpsters on the public streets. I occasionally dive into those to salvage lumber. There are also dumpsters up on the build site. I stay away from those ... I don't go on private property or scavenge anything not in a trash bin/dumpster. With that said, 2x6 are rare and 2x8 are the white buffalo of scrap wood.

I'm on the fence about lynx. I may get some and, at least, use them as the pads for my stabilizers. The integrated chocks they make for the lynx levelers is a cool idea.

But those are the big three: Anderson/Camco levelers, Lynx, and wood. There are other solutions, too, but tend to be less common (not necessarily less effective).

Good luck.

Andersons for the win. Trimming them is a 5 minute 1 time affair. In the last 3 seasons I think there might have been 1 time I didn't level the trailer on the first attemp. I use 4-low for control and my wife just holds the level and yells when to stop. They win simply for the fact that leveling the trailer is reduced to a couple of minutes. If you don't care about time then wood boards work just fine.

Mount a large level to the front of your trailer that's visible from the rear view mirror in the truck or by looking out the back window, and it becomes a one person job when using Andersen Levelers (or similar).

I use the Lynx levelers. No problems and they are light compared to wood. However the Anderson looks good.

Lynx Levelers... I have 3 sets that are currently in my motorhome with the BigFoot Levelers.

One set is around 20 years old, had them with our second pop up. Bought a second set around the 17 year mark, then a third set about 3 years ago. Never had a problem with them, other than not having enough of them.

Hello, I'm looking for recommendations for door lock replacements for the main entry door and the external storage bay doors of my 2018 Cedar Creek Silverback 33IK. Any thoughts and ideas are appreciated.

Your best bet is to start a new thread asking about door locks. This thread about leveling blocks won't get you many answers.
