Leveling my mini lite

[Dolang]

Did any one use Andersen leveling set up on a 2016 mini lite with duel wheels

I use Andersens on a 25-foot Surveyor with dual axles. Works great. Couldn't be easier.

Thanks for the reply but on the mini lite I only have a little over 2 1/2 " between the tires which are 14"
Is that any near what you have ???

we have the Micro Lite 25KS and it also has the 2 1/2" space between the tires, ... I use the Andersen levelers and they're great, ... did have to trim the rear one to fit, and because of that I also cut the front one to match, so they would both be the same(some folks don't cut both), .... I also have made pull cords for removing the chock piece, DW can safely pull them out when I pull forward just enough to remove the weight off the chock, .... the Andersen Levelers work great for us, ....

+1 here. I have a 2018 Mini Lite (2506s) and yes I use the Anderson Levelers and I could not be happier. It really cannot get any easier. I too had to cut down one for the rear wheel. If you have a miter saw it's a piece of cake.

FWIW, I also use the x-chocks that fella10 has shown in his pics above. They make a nice addition and show a definite improvement when installed.

Looks like you sold me thanks for the pics that helped and it looks easier than carrying a lumber yard along
Thanks again

Add the Levelmate pro and you will be golden.

Others have answered your question, but for the record, I have 6" between my 14-inch tires and did not have to trim the Andersens.

camco makes a curved version that does not need trimmed

let me add one more thing,..... some folks put safety step tape on the BOTTOM of their AL's to help stop them from sliding when trying to roll up on them, .... but have said they still do slide on wet grass, ..... I put the tape on the TOP of the AL's(but not the chock pieces) and mine have never tried to slide away even on wet grass, .... I tap them into place with a rubber mallet, so the tire has a good contact with the grip surface and I suppose that prevents the AL from pushing away from the tire, .... it's sort of like the tire is pulling the AL under it and not allowing it to push away/slide, ..... anyway, just wanted to let you know about that trick, ..... been using the AL's for over two years and never had them slide or fail in any way to give quick and easy leveling, ..... even more pleased that we now use the pull cords to remove the chocks, when I remove the weight off the chocks, DW can safely pull them out without having to be near the tire area then I can roll back off the AL's, .....

Good idea.

I just picked up a pair of these this week. We were staying at Lakewood campground in myrtle beach and our site was on an incline with soft sand. Had to use wood, leveling blocks and the ALs. Well worth the money.
