Levelers?

We have a Forest River Micro-Lite 21FBRS which does not work well with the Anderson Levelers. We have been using pieces of wood as levelers, as well as for hitch and stabilizer blocks. There are so many lightweight levelers and blocks on the market. Are there any brands that you recommend?

Lynx levelers for me, as well. Tidy bag to keep them in or you can stack to fit your storage compartment.

We have a Rockwood 8329 SS. Does anyone know if the Andersen levelers will work for us? I'm concerned that there may not be enough room between the tandem tires for the second leveler.

I have 6 inches at closest point between my 14-inch tires, and Andersens work. But it's close. Also, they can be trimmed. Love them.

I have a Rockwood 8329ss and use the Anderson levelers. I have had to shorten the one but they work great. I have never tried placing the one between the wheels like the above pictures shows. I don't think there is room.

This may be a dumb question, but shouldn't each tandem wheel on the same side be raised on their own leveler and not just the one wheel as in youroo's pic? If so, I don't think that I have enough room between the tires to fit a leveler.

If you look at the picture you mentioned tight like you will note both tires ARE off the ground.

Thanks Ford Idaho. Obviously, I'm a newbie. Can I assume then that, if I raise the rear tandem tire by putting the leveler behind the rear wheel as in the photo and back up, the front tandem tire will come up off the ground as well? Then I put the other leveler under the front side of the raised front tire to keep it raised? I was thinking that I had to put a leveler behind each of the tandem wheels and back up the trailer.

Yes you can lift one wheel by running the other up a ramp, people do this to change out a flat tire.

I will guess he pulls up too far, places the other and backs up till it is level and chocked at the same time.

wood, by far. Good luck
