Andersen Levelers and the ReVo Leveler

Because my mind was on stabilizing my camper I also sprung for some Andersen Levelers and a gadget which I really didn't need, the ReVo Leveler.

With the Andersen levelers you just roll up on them, from 0-4", until the camper is level. Then you use the included chocks to lock your wheels in place.



To help in that endeavor I purchased the ReVo Leveler which is basically an electronic level which you mount to the camper and which you can see through your truck mirror.

Once initial install is done and you've zeroed the ReVo, you just attach it and press the L/R button. In a few seconds a red arrow will light indicating which side to put your levelers on. It will also tell you how many inches you will need to raise the camper so if your using boards of plastic blocks, you'll know how many you'll need.

Then you roll your camper onto the Andersen Levelers until the green arrows appear.

Since I purchased the ReVo I also heard about the LevelMatePRO which is a smartphone based system.

Had I seen that LevelMatePRO I would have had a difficult time deciding but with the ReVo I must say that I felt comfortable and aware of my surroundings while looking into the mirror to level the camper. Not so sure how I'd feel looking at a smart phone or trying to keep one eye on the mirror and the other on the smart phone.

Here's a couple of shots of the L/R and F/B level of my camper. The ReVo Levelor is

    Hi salem,

    I found four inches to be not quite enough in a few locations. When I tried to put boards under them, they slid on the boards. I found driving up them stressful as I was afraid I'd overshoot. I am in a class C and I felt it put a lot of strain on the "park" setting on the transmission. I did not like driving forward off them. When they flipped out of place the rv came down pretty hard. I'm just underweight at 13,500 pounds.

    One broke in two, when I tried for a replacement and emailed them a picture the replacement never came. They are rated at 22,000 pounds and the one that broke perhaps had 4000 pounds (max) on it.

    I have the Andersen levelers and I love them when I get ready to leave I pull forward a little more to release the wedges, DW removes the wedges then I back off the levelers. (it works for me)

    I also added a stick on non skid texture used for boat steps helps to stop slipping if you have to use a board also to go above 4 inches.
  • I'm still a bit wishy washy on my Anderson's. Since our current FW has such a short wheel base, i have recently cut them down, but haven't used them since.

    At their original length combined with the short wheelbase they were nothing but trouble for me.

    I'm hoping in their cut down state they work as advertised.

    Now don't get me wrong, with our TT they were fine, just haven't played nice with the FW.

  • I have the Anderson Levelers and love the things. I can level the trailer side to side in minutes.

    IMO well worth the money.

    The ReVo looks cool. But I will keep the wife or 9 year old looking at the level as I pull up onto the levelers.

  • Hi,

    I thought I would love Anderson Levellers. Unfortunately I did not, so I'm back to good old fashioned wooden boards.
  • Nice review. That is a cool device that ReVo.
    btw I love my Anderson Levers.
