Hi,
A Newbie to this forum, my wife and I just having bought an 08 LTV Libero to replace our Rialta. I thought I'd post to this older thread since one of the first things I'm exploring is levelers. In my experience, the plastic ones break easily on gravel or rough ground, and I really hate carrying a selection of planks around. I had scissor jacks on the rear of my Rialta, and they worked fine but then that's only an 8000 lb vehicle.
One problem with the Libero, not sure if other B+'s too, is that even on level ground it "leans" forward. That means I'll have to level almost 100% of the time, unless I happen to be aimed up a slope. I will not be spending $4000 on hydraulic jacks, so I think I'm stuck with either 6500-7500lb scissor jacks, or carrying 2-4 bottle jacks around. Does anyone have similar experience with a forward leaning B+? To be clear, my fridge works fine, it's my beer sliding off the kitchen table that I can't abide by!
Regards,
Gary
