Boggs · 03-15-2018, 08:15 PM

Hey guys ordering stuff for our new camper. Going to need some leveling blocks, looks like some are better then others. Anybody have any good recommendations

Check out Andersen levelers, one of the best things I have bought

I use this

It is pricey but works well. When we bought our camper, we got a store credit so we used it on this. It is really neat, it packs up into the duffle bag when not in use.

First let me say I also have the Andersen levelers. On our first time using them 1 broke. I did trim it down some because the regular length they come was too long for the space between my wheels. So I really can't say if I like them or not, we will see this camping season.

Now if you want to save a few coins, it looks like Camco has a knock-off of the Andersen levelers...

Never Camco. They knock off good products in crappy ways.

For blocks, we always used LynxLevelers. I bought a set of Andersen’s but upgraded to a camper with an auto leveling system before I got a chance to use them.

They’re for sale in the classified ads. Hint, hint.

Lynx Levelers. Our three sets are 7 years old and have been seriously abused at times. None of them ever broke or distorted. Very easy to store as they don't take up much room. Ours are a little sun faded. Highly recommend them. Worth the money.

sorry for two posts

the best levelers I have found are 2x6 & 1x6 by 4' doug fir boards. They cost almost nothing and work well even in muddy areas.

I use Andersen levelers and am happy with them. Before that I used a "stall mat" cut into strips and was happy with them. They are indestructible but heavy. Before that I used pieces of wood and considered them acceptable... wanted something nicer though.

I still use small chunks of stall mat for many various tasks including as a knee pad when I need to get down on wet ground at a dump station or on gravel.

I started with the yellow Camco leveler blocks in the blue bag. I broke a few of them. The wife almost got hit with a flying piece of them that broke off when there was a tree root just under the surface of the grass.

I then switched to the horse stall mat cut into pieces back in 2012. They worked great but were very heavy. Late last year I switched to 4 sets of Lynx Levelers. They have worked good so far. I bought the package with the chocks and top caps.

I bought two bags of Lynx levelers used from guy who had a fifth wheel and I've used them for 6 years with no issue.

They work well and the design allows them to be used to level picnic tables nicely.

I've got the Yellow Lynx knock-offs and haven't had an issue with them, but they don't get used often. Only used for under the wheels and only if I need at least 2 high. The design of them requires at least 2 high to hold them together. If I only need a little lift, then I have 2 6' 2x6's with one end trimmed on a 45. I use 1 on the side that needs the lift. I only carry the 2 in case I end up in a soft site and need to keep both sets of wheels out of muck.

For the stabilizers and tongue jack, I've got a variety of 2x8, 2x10, 2x12 etc... cut offs, and a few thinner pieces of 5/8' plywood I can insert into the stack if I need to fine-tune the left to right balance.

X2... 3 sets, some faded, none broke, well over 7 yrs old and the Lynx wheel chock works great. Some sites have had to use all, especially under stabilizers. Lightweight, store well and the mud knocks off easily

I've had all sorts of trailers and C's leveled up on Lynx levelers. Never had one break yet. And x2 to the picnic table leveling - they work great for that too.

Ha! I thought my stall mat idea was an original one. I guess great minds think alike! Anyway they work great.

I use my bright orange leveling blocks to outline my targeted parking site,
makes it easier to see my left to right orientation. One at the back for my backup camera to indicate far enough.

Andersen levelers

Find a new home being built in your area and you'll should find a treasure trove of scrap lumber cuts usually laying on the front-to be-lawn. Contractors love for you to take the stuff. The thick board used for the main roof support (don't know what they are called) make great jack and leveling pads. Heavy and thick. Also pick out great fire wood or fire starter wood like 2x4 cut offs.
