anyone tried Anderson levelers? new to TT, learning all I cn

[davpratt]

As a former popupper we loved our BAL leveler to level side to side,
as near as I can tell, BAL does not make anything strong enough for a TT. So I was considering an Anderson leveler, it is a red, kind of bannana shaped thing that you put under a low side tire. the further you back up or pull forward the higher that side goes. While lifting one tire might be ok, I have heard it might be more stable to get two of these,and use one on each of the low side tires.What do you folks think about this? I would greatly appeciate your input. And I know that I need to update my sig.

I have them and they are great. I used them in my last toy hauler travel trailer that weighed in 12k pounds loaded. They worked perfectly.

I've seen them and they do appear to simplify the process of leveling and changing tires. Definitely would use two for leveling since we have a dual axle TT.

Maybe in the future I may make the investment but for now I'll just use the tried and true methods of boards and/or lego-style blocks for leveling side to side.

We have 4 BAL jacks on our 32' TT rated to easily raise the weight of our rig, but I would never use them to level side to side, they do stabilize the TT well after we have finished leveling in all directions.

With a dual axle trailer you'd want to use two Andersen leveler sets, one for each of the two low side tires. Most love 'em for the ease of use, a few don't because they present a fairly narrow footprint which can be problematic on a soft ground surface, being made of hard plastic they'll slip on a hard surface such as tarmac, some claim to have broken one, and the biggest issue - lack of sufficient space between adjacent tires to allow the leveler to rotate as the trailer is pulled up on to the levelers without jamming against one of the tires. Andersen does include instructions detailing how one might trim the thinner edge of the leveler to shorten it but that also increases it's minimum lift. Some owners have also profiled the thick end of the leveler to better clear the tire. In my case neither solution would work as my Coachmen has 14" tires on a mere 29" axle spread so no matter how short I might make them they just won't fit. Finally, my own personal concern - if the trailer is parked on a site that slopes significantly to the front or to the rear I'm not convinced that the wedge would prevent the trailer from rolling away. A non-issue now for me since I decided to pass but it's a concern you might want to consider.

Many of us have. It's Andersen. Mine kept breaking so I quit using them.
