When Andersen Levelers aren't enough....

We stayed in one CG, where I was full up on the very end of the Andersens, and just got it side-to-side level. But it got me thinking whether I need to bring something for "just in case" if we get a site that is even worse. We do have two full sets of the Camco "Lego" blocks, but in this instance, if I had used them instead, I would have used them all up, and had none left for the stabilizing jacks.


Sort of related - in another CG, we ended up with the WD bars of my ProPride hitch on the ground to get the trailer front-to-back level. Again, if it had been worse, I would have had to break out the lego's for both sides of the trailer, to get it up enough. How many "inches of stuff" (legos, wood, etc.) do most people bring for these tasks?

  • We ran into that same situation last week. Although it was not a paved site, it was too rocky and hard to dig out the high side (though I've done that in other places). I used up two sets of legos (and bent a couple up, too) and just put the landing gear on the ground. I wrote the situation up when I reviewed the park/resort.

  • What you have is fine. If it is that bad you deal with it or request a different site. You would need a second trailer if you packed everything for every obscure contingency or what-if possibility.

    That doesn't work so well on a paved site....

    I would rather pack plastic blocks than chunks of wood, for a "just-in-case" situation.


    this is true, I guess I've never run across a paved site that has been extremely unlevel
