campground leveling

Great Basin National Park is an excellent example of areas where we like to camp and often come up against tough leveling jobs. We don't do careful leveling for our refrigerator - we do it because we don't like walking or sleeping on slopes.

MH leveling should not be difficult. In the past I would pull in, look at the levers, place my leveling blocks, drive up and be level. While I agree it takes a few trials on the other hand it's not rocket science, just know your rig.

It's not quite that easy in places like this:

My most extreme leveling was in Big Basin SP which took several attempts.

I have to agree with EMD360. I have used the wood ones that other people here talked about and found them heavy and unwieldy, the plastic Lego type were a pain to put together and would often break.

The Tri-Levelers that came with my Ex Rental have worked every where that I have needed them with out fail and if a Rental Company uses them as their standard Leveling Device that are in each Rental then they must stand up to most any kind of use.

They even show them in their Orientation Video with a full demonstration of their use at the 11 minute mark in the video.

Also have and use these. Got a total of 6 but normally only need 4 at any given time. easy to use.

The Anderson levelers are designed for side to side leveling as in TV/5er. Of course you could use 5 and level a MH but why?

24ft Lazy Daze here. We carry 2 bags of the orange Lynx. We've had no problems with them at all. As others have said, put them under both tires of the dualies.

For the MH and the TT we have I carry 2x10s 12 inches long and can stack as needed. I also have a pack of the yellow and orange legos. They all work as designed but sometime you need to have a few of everything. Reason I have orange legos is that one place we stayed need a lot to level, so had to block rear wheels up and then use the 2x's under the jacks. This was in 2 different driveways where parking on the street was not possible! I use the 2x's also unde r the jacks to keep them from sinking into soft ground or asphalt when parking and leveling. I have 1 compartment at the rear that is where I store all the leveling stuff we carry. So you will lose some storage space no matter what you use. On a c/B+ some are short of a lot of outside storage unless you have like a itaska or some that the whole rear bay is storage. We dont have that option. I also can carry some 2x's if needed in the towd so that could be an option for you if you tow 1.

Hi Phil,

I use leveling most when parked on ordinary residential streets. Fortunately Saskatchewan is mostly pretty flat.

"I turn the RV around and put the nose in the low spot."

If possible out in the boonies ... or alternatively - if your hookups can still reach in a campground, if nose-in/rear-in is allowed in a campground, and if the circle loop versus campsite angles make it possible in a campground.

I figure it's better to be prepared for everything rather than be sorry for anything. :)
