So I emailed the company and asked if they would work on a Class C. They said they would as long as it's not too large of a tire.
That's an oversimplification as it's not just the tire diameter but also the axle spread between adjacent dual axles as to whether the Andersen Leveler system will "work", regardless of what type of rig we're talking about. If there isn't sufficient room for the Andersen Leveler that's placed between the two adjacent tires to freely rotate as the rig is pulled up on to it then it's going to jam between the tires. Yes, you can trim the narrow end of the leveler but then you're also reducing the minimum lift of the leveler which in some cases can be a drawback. An alternative solution for some is to instead bevel the lower edge of the leveler's thick end but for those of us who have a rig with a particularly narrow axle spread neither solution will necessarily prevent the leveler from jamming. Keep in mind also that the Andersen Leveler has a fairly narrow footprint, just 6" in width, and can easily sink when sitting on a soft ground surface. They're also made of hard plastic and can easily slip on a hard surface such as tarmac or cement. So ... while many Andersen Leveler owners are quite happy with their purchase the fact remains that the devil is in the details and whether a set will work in your particular situation is not quite as simple as the manufacturer would have you believe. ;)
I'm just repeating what they told me... they sent a picture of a diagram of tire that said 32" and showed how it wouldn't seat properly in the "cup" of it. With it being 6" wide as you say, I see no issue with my dually tires and the width. Lynx Levelers are about 8" wide and have no issues with them going between the two tires. I also use 2x10 boards and there is even a gap between those when leveling. And I am not talking about dual axles. I'm talking about a single axle with dually wheels. As far as them sinking in soft ground or slipping on wet cement. That will happen with lynx levelers and wood boards can slip on wet cement as well.
