How many carry blocks or boards to level with. thanks
I carry several ranging in size from 2x8, gang-nailed 2x12 and 6x6 to allow me leveling in almost any off-road condition.
I noticed some things on a camper outing with respect to leveling the truck and camper. In the past when I had a smaller & lighter pop- up TC, I would have to get all the glocks, wood, rocks, etc almost gnats- ass equal to create a level plane under the 4 tires. I would usually have no blocks under the tire at the highest point and then place whatever was needed under the other 2 (or 3) as required.
My latest camper is the heaviest that I have owned (3,500#+ wet and loaded) ...and I noticed that while I had to add blocks, I did not need to be so exact so as to create an equal height plane as the truck's suspension articulated to take up or extend as need in order to make the camper as a whole all level. I think the heavier weight allows for easier leveling because the weight does the work by articulating the suspension as needed.



While it may look weird, the inside was perfectly level... I will do what it takes and park in out-of -the-way places like this...
