After seeing the Andersen blocks last year I made my own from a pressure treated 6X6... I have a band saw. I measured the radius of the tire and drew the shape out on a scrap of plywood. Then drew another radius 5" bigger. Works great. The scrap cut from the wedge makes the stabilizing piece. $18 made four wedges... Gave two to my neighbor for his TH!

I purchased two of the camper leveler (one for each axle). The only problem I had was the first time I used them, despite having someone giving me signals when to stop, I went too far and rolled over the high end. Even though a YouTube video shows that is the way to pull out when breaking camp, I thought my fiver was very unstable when it rolled off the high end of the lead block (wobbled side to side). Do you remove the wedge and simply roll over the two front high end part of the leveler when breaking camp? The wedge in back of the front has a lot of pressure on it making it difficult to remove.

I have two of these for my double axle travel trailer. I used them the first time in my driveway and they worked great. I used them on my next trip with the same result however after returning home they wouldn't work anymore. While it was sitting in my driveway I put tire shine on the tires after washing my trailer--BIG MISTAKE---now they just shoot out from under the trailer, even after hammering them in a little.
I just got back from my first trip of the season and tried again. After the entire winter, the driveway still will not hold them. I even scratched both sides up to try and provide more friction. No luck. They might work out on my next trip but they don't work in my driveway.

I know this is forum is for the TT, but I did a search for this device and found reviews here. I have a 5th wheel 35 trailer. I'm considering using this for leveling and it sounds like there are some great reviews.
A few questions:
1) do you roll off it like they do in the video? It seems like it would break or make the trailer bounce a lot.
2) How difficult was it to remove if you didn't roll "forward"
3) Did anyone get the Jack system instead of the leveler? Is that stronger? Higher?
Thanks!
1. So far I have been backing up some and pulling them out
2. Fairly easy, I had the wife back up while I grabbed them.
3. No

Let's take this one step further. If you have an iPad or iPhone there is a leveling app you can get. Clinometer version 4.1 from the App Store. This neat little app is a bubble level that speaks to you in degrees. Open up the app, place your device on the floor about where your axels would be. If you have Bluetooth in your TV you can pair it up with your device. Or use Bluetooth head phones. Pull forward or back up until you hear the app say "zero degrees" . Set your parking break and you will now be level side to side. This saves having someone else put a level on the side of the TT and giving hand signals when you are leveling. I prefer to do these things by myself and keep the DW out of the equation. But that's another thread. I don't have the levelers yet, but I have tested the app with my TV Bluetooth. It gets a good signal from the device.

I dont have that brand of blocks, but I have seen the way they bow and flatten under the weight of my small hybrid TT. I cant imagine how they would hold up under a larger camper weighing several thousand more pounds.
I am moving towards the opinion that these blocks are ok under the tongue and stabilizers, but maybe not so much for the wheels.
