Leveling the Class C

I made an offer on a used Class C last night and it was accepted. Now the RV has to undergo the inspection process. As I wait for that I have been reading a lot here about leveling the class C. I can't afford to add HWH or other power levelers at this time but hopefully I can in the near future. I have read about using the Lynx type stackers as that seems to be the fall back method. This will be our 3rd RV but the previous 2 were TTs so the process is somewhat different. On the TT I used plastic ramps that raised one side or the other as the TT went up the ramp. Is there a reason why these are not used on class Cs? Most of the places we camp at are fairly level and only need minor leveling to get it even. I know I would need at least 4 due to the rear duals.

    Might want to get a set of these to use for front tires so you can level front to rear also

    they look a little short for 16 "tires not enough flat support

    My 24' does not have much storage-particularly outside access. I've made do with two bags of the Lynx type blocks. So far I've been able to reject grossly out of level sites outright. Mostly I can get it level by moving about in the site and propping up whats needed with the Lynx blocks. Once in a while I can't get it within a half bubble+ level (never gross). I just live with it. Doesn't bother me, it may or may not affect fridge over long haul. If it does, I'll put up confessional post.

    I see no reason not to use ramps. I use to ones that Old Biscuit mentioned.

    I like them better than the Lynx type, much easier to use just plop them down, no building and guessing how many to use.

    I carry 4 and as so far have not had to use them all at one time.

    I try to move around in the spot to get as level as I can then use these to get it right.

    Just be sure to block/raise both tires on your rear dual axle. I have a set of the Lynx and Camcos. I've found the Camcos (solid yellow blocks) to hold up better than the Lynx.

    Also, if you mount some levels inside cab, you can often slowly easy around the site and get pretty darn close.

    Hi. The ramps can be used on Class Cs, and I have used mine once. I also carry the Lynx blocks and use them mostly. I guess what you use will depend on the spot where you are camping. I used the ramps when I knew I had to bring up the front end a little and the same amount on each side. That is not often the case for me. I've been in spots where I needed to block up 3 wheels to get level. So for us, the spot dictates what I will use. Some RVers will use lumber to block. Remember that both wheels of the duals on one side need to be blocked up, and always remember that there must always be one wheel solidly on the ground for safety. Good luck and happy travels in your new to you unit. Bob

    We have been RVing for some 40 years and have never found the need for anything more then 2x4 pieces under the wheels. If circumstances require more then that we just move on to another spot.
