- WalabyExplorer IIwell, I guess Im gonna have to check these out. I've used the lego's for about a year now, and doesn't take much to set up. I usually park where I want it, look at the level, and can tell how many lego's I need to get it about right. Put the lego's in front of the tire on the site needing to be raised, pull forward and done.
These do sound interesting and perhaps a lot more flexible in terms of how much the side is raised, especially if the optimal point is between lego block sizes.

Here's another question.
Is the 4" lever enough to lift the other tire up to change?
They do have another 7" one for that purpose.
I know. But if I can just get the smaller ones that would be easier.
I don't think the bigger one comes with a chalk
I need to go all the way up the 7" Rapid Jack to get the tire in the air, so I don't think the Leveler will come close. - RVcircusExplorer IIWe have the Levelers and Rapid Jack and love them. They look hairy when you see them in use, but are stable and the levelers come with chocks so you don't roll. I've used them on asphalt, concrete, gravel and grass, but never really soft ground.
- wrvondExplorer IIHere's the one I have, a CAMCO 25563
With those axles, you might be able to get away with it, since one axle will stay on the ground, especially with only and inch or two.
Of course, another benefit is that you are chocking the wheels, as well as lifting them. Personally, I'd stick with two to keep every symmetrical, - TysonTDWExplorer

This is our first year using ours too. So far we both LOVE them.
I have my bubble level where I can see it in my left rear view mirror, so we stop, decide where they need to go, and I back up. When I stop, DW throws the stop under the leveler and we are done.
OK what kind of bubble do you have that you can see from your rear view?
I have a dual Axle Forest River Ultra light, 28ft, 6500lbs, torsion axles. Most the sites we go to are fairly level and 1 to 2 inches is typically enough. Would I need to always lift both tires or can I get a good amount lift on just 1.
ALso if I could get away with just 1 would any damage be expected for leaving it in this position for 3 to 4 days? - icanonExplorerOne of the first things I bought when I bought my TT. I travel with my two young daughters, wife flies in to meet us, and they are no help when setting up camp. With the levers makes my life easier and setup is down in minutes.
Love the idea of the stair rubber mat that someone suggested. I use them on my front entrance at home during winter and now I have a use for them in summer, thanks for the great idea. - fil564ExplorerI got mine before last season as a gift and tried to use them setting up in spring and they became ski's because it was wet and damp. I thought I had solved the problem after we came back to our seasonal site from vacation by putting the anti slip tape on them and using a 2 x 6 because I needed a little more lift, unfortunately the same thing happened. I have given thought to finding a rubber pad to use and the stair tread idea may be a starting point so I am looking forward to putting these to use.
- SifterExplorerSure is great seeing so many enjoying their levelers! 7 pages and going strong.
- IDoMyOwnStuntsExplorerFunny that they don't come with the rubber pad. My Rapid Jack, made by the same company, included the pad. Didn't think I'd need it until the jack went skipping across the pavement.
I wonder if I can just wedge something under the Rapid Jack and accomplish the same thing. Hmmm...
Edit: I would need to buy a second one to test it. - camperforlifeExplorerOk, you guys just sold me on them, I just ordered a set. If I don't like them, which one of you are going to refund my money? :)
