Leveling gadgets are just a great way to separate YOU from your money.

I made my Andersen copies out of yellow pine about 4 years ago. One of them is shorter than the other to fit between the tires, which are 3” apart at the closest.
I have yet to see an easier method of side to side leveling a TT.
Mine are perhaps half that, just far enough apart that I can get a totally collapsed X-Chock between the adjacent tires ... Andersens, even cut down, just won't fit. 😞 Sometimes "easy" just isn't that easy. 😉

way too complicated for me. Prefer to use correct number of lego blocks (prefer the yellow kind). Don't like green either.

Beveled edges LOL......I don't think I have ever had a campsite on paving as in those pictures.

When you show up at the campsites we search out and have had a couple days of torrential storms beforehand you need to do what works. Fancy manufactured gizmos have never foot the bill. The one lynx cap notwithstanding.

Sorry, but as illustrated in that link I'd never elevate just one low side tire on a dual axle trailer. Thumbs down from me. 😞parker.rowe wrote:
Why not? Just curious.
One tire, axle, and suspension components are subjected to far more stress than the other tire, axle, and suspension components on the same side of the trailer, and for days at a time while you're camping. Why, when there's no need? :R
Interestingly, later that same link shows both tires properly elevated.
I agree with others in that I see no advantage whatsoever to this Hopkins kit when simply beveling the edges of the 2x achieves exactly the same thing. :S

For easy effective leveling, I haven't seen anything that surpasses the Anderson leveling system.
My Freedom Express axles are set 29" apart so Andersen levelers, even trimmed, won't fit. 😞 Some who tried the Andersens have reported here on the forums breakage when sitting on an uneven ground surface such as crusher stone, sinking in soft ground surfaces such as mud or sand, and slippage on slick surfaces such as tarmac. Guess I'll stick with my Lynx / Wood leveling system. 😉
