Anderson Camper Levelers

[Esacnj]

Do they work?

[Njmurvin]

Mine haven't broken yet. But, my brother has them and one of them broke. Andersen has a lifetime warranty and promptly sent a replacement. I experienced the slipping and purchased the rubber mats (and a carrying case) from Andersen. All good since.

I have a large leveling bubble on the front of my trailer visible in my rear view mirror. I like that I can get it level on my own. I usually overshoot level by a tad allowing for some settling.

I use the small wedge provided to lock in the Andersen leveler and chock the other side of the trailer.

Satisfied user of my Andersen Levelers for 6 years or more. Used to guess (not very accurately) at how many wood blocks to stack up, then went to the lego blocks with the same guessing.

With the Andersen Levelers, my wife can hold a level vertically on the 5er side wall and wave me up onto the rockers until it shows plumb and we're done. No more guessing on how many wood or lego blocks to get level, with multiple trial and error, back and forth, on and off the blocks to get side to side level.

The levelers come with a triangle wedge that slides under the end of the leveler as a chock which works fine. I also use X-chocks and haven't had interference between them and the Levelers.

Mine slipped, too.

I went back to 2 x 8 in two sizes.

Agreed, work awsome on smaller weight stuff. So much easier. Especially with tandem axels. Never had them slip or break. You can add a matt under them for slippage. Changing spots by me for somethibg more level isnt an option. Everything is booked way in advance. Like a year. Lol.

I like em. In several years never had one break and I don't see any problem with backing off of them. But then I don't own a heavy weight.

They break! Really a horrible idea. Pack some lumber with and be done with it.

Having seen them on a few youtube videos, I don't see where they are significantly better than a few pieces of 2x8.

Generally will find a different site if it needs more than 2 boards.

I am also concerned that when you try to take the chock out from under them that you may have to back up to release the pressure to remove the chock and may come off the back of the leveler which wouldn't be good.

Had one slip, I haven't used since. I feel much more secure driving up on the interlocking blocks.

I know it for a fact. One of mine broke while I was sleeping. It was quite a loud noise.

They work great, but will slip on some surfaces so use the rubber pad which fixes the problem. I did have one break on asphalt (10,500# trailer). I emailed them a picture of the broken unit and Andersen sent out a new one swiftly.

I did try a different brand off Amazon as it looked heavier duty and came with a carry case. The ramp angle on it was too steep and the trucks e-brake wouldn't hold on it to get the chocks in. The smooth radius on the Andersens is a better design than the Amazon product.

Some complain they interfere with chocking their tires. I use Rotochocks so it isn't an issue for me.

I LOVE mine. Find the low side, put out the Andersons and slowly drive until you are perfectly level.
