That's exactly what I do. Position the levelers and watch the level through the back window. It's easier to have somebody to help chock it do it doesn't move, but it's doable.

I set up the camper while the wife watches the daughter and dog. I just love the simplicity of this kind of leveler. I can already tell that I am going to miss using the old bal leveler that I used with my old pup.

A level with a bluetooth readout on the phone/ tablet in the TV would be ideal with this product.
I just picked up a 2015 233s last week and I'm already spending money on accessories!

Hey Hurst. No matter what you buy, you always need to buy accessories. That's part of fun of owning an RV. Lol. It never ends.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice from both of you! Do you guys use slideout braces? Or will it damage them?

I don't. When I picked up our unit, I asked the s as me question. I was instructed not to use slide stabilizers on the newer models. It may either damage the slider or bend the frame. I haven't seen the need to use them. I've had 4 adults on the dinette and 2 adults on the couch and have not seen a significant change on the slide angle. IMHO

Same here - but then again, there's usually only a max of 3 of us in the unit at any one time - with only maybe 2 people sitting on the sofa at any one time.

Yea I thought it might damage them, but wasn't sure. Main problem is the leaning toward the side of the slides and the movement. I'm gonna try the stabilizers and for now at least prop up the left tires on some wood. Thanks for the great advice!

You're very welcome. Once I had them cut, I used a grinding wheel to do the final shaping. Probably not the best thing for the health of the grinding wheel but it sure did a nice job shaping the levelers.

Andersen levelers
We have the Andersen Levelers and we absolutely love them! So easy to level the trailer. I was looking into getting the X chock for our new Tracer 230 fbs with the EZ tow, but I think our wheels are to far apart, does anyone on here have or tried the X chock with the EZ Tow Wide Track Suspension?

Has anyone tried the Anderson levelers on a Flagstaff 21FBRS. Seems like I read here a while back that even trimmed they wouldn't work on this TT. Sure would like to use them if they will work. Also use the x-chock & love it.

Read somewhere on here
Hope this help!
Someone called and asked the company about wheel clearance and here is what they wrote back:
Around 3" between tires is where they fit easily in between the two tires. We did did have one case that there was only 2" between tires and the consumer had to cut an Inch off of the tip in order for It to fit. We have designed the camper leveler so that you can do this with no change to the performance.

He was wishing there was such a product. Maybe there is but it was just a wish. QUOTE: A level with a bluetooth readout on the phone/ tablet in the TV would be ideal with this product./QUOTE
Yes they do make such an animal but look at the price. $ 1,200. http://www.amazon.com/Johnson-Level-.../dp/B005GIOTNK
