    Camco Tri Leveler

    Work for me...



    I had a pair of those, and gave them to my son in law. I really like them, but they were almost useless on hard ground or pavement. When I tried to drive up on them, they would slide away from the tire. I concluded the first step was too steep. I may try another set, but only if I can bolt something on the bottom that would allow my tire to get on it, and hold the leveler in place. I think maybe a mud flap material the full length and about six inches past the first step.

    I do cary legos. They are not as bad about slipping while driving up. More often than not, I just use my Stable Lift.
  • When I bought my camper, for couple of weekends I just unhook the camper and used the jacks to make it level. That was with front lifted off the bed.
    That was not making it too comfortable and later I found some dryrot under front water tank that show some structural problems that I had to repair.
    Lifting front without support under heavy tank is asking for troubles.
    Now I carry lot of wood, just becouse I have tons of scrap wood laying around, but I think LEGO is the way to go on long run.
    Still on my shopping list.
  • X2 on the Camco tri-levels. They are the best I've ever had.

    I've used wood scraps, single-size plastic ramps, lego-thingies, digging a hole to lower a wheel, etc.

    +1 Works every time.
  • I picked up a set of the 12x12 Lego blocks and that does me for most of the sites that I camp at.
  • I carry two 4x4x10, two 6x8x10, four 2x6x18 (two per wheel), and a set of eight 12x12 plastic blocks. You may think it is extreme, but I can put a set of wheels up over 16" and have needed to do so in the past. Plus, with the ability to take such an unlevel site, I have more option and campgrounds to choose from. Some of the campgrounds I visit were built by the CCC and only designed for tent campers so no concern on making the parking area level.

    Another use for the blocks and planks is I can use them to bridge up to a 34" wide washout over 20" deep. Haven't done it yet, but came very close to needing to in Kentucky.
  • I carry four 2x8x12's, they fit on the floor of the truck just perfect.
  • I do, they also keep the mud off. Plastic ones are lighter and have a case that contains the mud and dirt.

    My drive where I store my TC has a slope, I use 3 under the front jacks and 1 under the back for a total of 8. That's what I carry.
  • I have a set of those lynx level thingy's. I think it's just because I loved LEGOS so much as a kid. They have come in handy a few times. Generally I can find a pretty level spot to park it or find a few rocks or something to drive up on if needed.
