How to level a Class C?

I just sold my 36 foot class A which had leveling jacks. I am looking at getting a class C, but only one or two have had leveling jacks and those looked like add-on units with a big box next to the drivers seat. For those units that do not have this, how do you level your rig?
Also, how much do those add-on units cost installed?
  • 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.

  • We had all the bells and whistles and downsized. We use the blocks. Have levels on side and rear of MH to get close. Put a level in frige and level to frige, usually only takes a few blocks and minutes.The only thing we miss off the big rig is the electric awning.
  • Two 12x3x24 two 2x4x10 two4x4x10 The DW walks back to the middle of the couch and tells me how much to raise the front. I raise to what the boss wants takes less than 5 minutes. Like is said happy wife happy life.
  • I forgot to mention is that it makes the mh more stable and you don’t feel people walking or getting up at night.

    X2 - We carry a couple of packs but seldom need to use them. As long as the site is within 2-3 inches of level both side to side and front to back the refrigerator and us are both happy.



    Absolutely!

    Auto levelers dramatically reduce your available payload and most Class C's - especially the larger models, are painfully short of payload to begin with. Leveler reliability is hit or miss and leveler failures can be a disaster. Also note how many folks with levelers are also using the yellow Leggo blocks... what's up with that? :h

    IMHO: The ability to merely push a couple of buttons and "Presto" your coach is level sounds appealing but folks... leveling with a $30 set of blocks takes no more time and works just as well. Save your money and payload initially and if after a couple of trips you still think you just can not live without them by all means go for it... but go with your eyes wide open to the realities of the cost and weights involved.

    As always... Opinions and YMMV.

  • Just had Bigfoot levelers added to my class c for just under 4K. I keep the box under the drivers seat which is out of the way. Best investment made to the mh.
