Campsite leveling solutions
2006 E450. What do you use to get level? Pics would be helpful. Thanks

- I use homemade wooden ramps. No pictures, but it's not too hard to visualize: pressure treated 2x10, cut into various lengths, with the ends angled at 30 degrees to make them easier to drive up onto.
Edit: Maybe they're 2x8's; I forget at the moment. - Best case? Hit auto-level. Worst case? Link-levelers (orange blocks) then auto level. Nightmare case? Link-levelers, then manual level to stabilize.

Leveling on sloped grade campsite.
How sloped? Nose high or nose low? (helps to know for e-brake).
For me, weight on rear wheels (e-brake) and adjust front wheels accordingly.
In the attached photo, we were easily 6 inches low on the nose. To keep the front wheels from hanging, I drove up on levelers then hit the jacks. We're level and the fronts are on the ground.
- Me too..wooden planks. Auto level? Not me! Lol
- Yellow leggo's, never more than two high have always done the job. Now if you want to subtract several hundred pounds from your payload (CCC/OCCC), not to mention your bank account by all means add a set of auto levelers... and wait for the problems that will surely follow...
Seriously, keep it simple. Leggo's or 2x6,8,'s whatever should handle just about any campsite. If you need more than that in any RV Park demand your money back.

Nose low. Driver side leaning low. Appears you got a new rig with built in stabilizers. Nice to have the gadgets..lol.- I tried the Lego type blocks but found that they broke to easy and were a pain to setup when you don't get it right the first time and had to drive off,re-stack, and make them higher,to labor intensive.
When I bought my RV,a former Rental, it came with Tri Level Ramps They don't break and if they are good enough to withstand the use in that market they must be good.
I have used them a lot and have had no problems and they are easy to use and store. I have 6 just incase but never have used them all,4 is the most I have ever needed,most times just 2 if at all,they were for the rear duallys.
I found that The Tri leveler work very well.

It is. Just traded a 2016 Arctic Fox 28F TT. New rig is loaded and still has #2600 CCC. Only reason for blocks is to keep suspension from hanging.- Save your money, dig a hole.
