Andersen leveler concern

[barnrt]

I am finally going to spring for the Andersen levelers. I had a concern that I would need two for under the dually wheels. A call to the company assured me that I need only put one under the dually and it should be the inside tire. A call to the very competent phone person at etrailers (where I will order), said the same thing.

So what has been your experience? I don't like the idea of that outer tire just "hanging" there!

I would think there could be a possibility of exceeding the tires weight rating if the load was transferred to just one tire

I was quite happy with my Andersens until I added automatic levelers. I did find that on concrete, I would reverse off of them instead of driving off as their video showed. They tended to shoot up if driving off.

We use them on a 13.5K fifth wheel and are very happy with them. I realize that most fifth wheels are much lighter than some motorhomes, though.

I bought 6. I used 4 on the rear duals. One of the levelers under the driver's side inside dual broke in two. I was at about 1/6 of rated capacity.

I was at a campground where I needed to use the Andersons plus wood due to the slope. They slid forward on the wood and could not be used.

I would certainly NOT use just one per side with dual tires.

I've abandoned mine and gone back to using wood.

My experience is that I've broken 3 of them. If were ever to replace them I'd get metal ones.

I don't know if you're talking about an RV or a truck.

They are right. You only need 1 because you can only use 1. If you put it on the inner tire, the outer tire will be higher and a 2nd one would do you no good. It doesn't hurt the outer tire to just hang there. Its got 8 studs...it'll be fine.
