Leveling boards, what do you carry.

We'll be taking off shortly in a new to us 5'ver for an extended time. I figure two 2x8x6 foot should do the trick for leveling.

My old RV was a MH with levelers, so I never thought about it much before.

  • I have 8 1" marine plywood squares, 16 x 16. Dry camp a lot and these have worked well.
  • I discovered Anderson levelers right there on RV.net.
    No need to carry lumber and no trial and error. Just pull up until the level on the front of the rig shows it's good.
    I no longer carry any boards for leveling, just some small pieces of 2X6 to put under the stab jacks.
  • Maybe a couple more shorter pieces of 3/4 thick also. I have the plastic blocks but dont like them so one of my front compartments has an assortment of boards and some larger wood blocks- 6x8 in case I need to jack up for landing gear or axle issues etc.

    I would throw the plastic blocks in the lake but the lake is getting full of other junk.
  • I carry two 2x8x5' boards and one 1x6x4' board. I also carry a few pieces of each that are about a foot long to be able to make a small ramp up if needed.
