We tried the 3-level ramps and are now looking to sell them. I felt they were leaving my TT with a desire to roll back down them, creating a side-to-side force at the tongue. Made for a very exciting unhooking once last summer.
This is yet another concern I have about the Andersen Leveler system - what happens when the campsite is not just sloped side to side but also significantly sloped front to back, meaning the trailer wants to roll either further back into the site or alternately toward the front of the site as soon as it's unhitched from the TV. :E Yeah, I know - the Andersen Leveler system consists of two parts, a leveler and a chock, but frankly on some of the sites we camp on I'm not at all convinced the Andersens, once chocked, would hold the trailer in place. Secondly, because the Andersen occupies that space between the low side tires there's no way to add a ground level chock on that side of the trailer to absolutely prevent the trailer from inadvertently shifting. Look at any of the Andersen Leveler demo videos and you'll notice they're always leveling on sites that are relatively level front to back, nor do they address how one might additionally chock those low side tires. I think I'll stick with my Lynx Leveling and chocking system that absolutely prevents the trailer from shifting regardless of campsite slope.
I think the Andersen leveler is superior in avoiding this, as you can pick which way to roll up the leveler and then chock. That's better than anything I can do on my lifted side today.
My opposite side gets a single traditional plastic chock, plus a Fastway between the tires. My TT is not going to roll forward or backward off any site that I'm comfortable setting up on.
