using BAL levelers

[mutt48]

We have a Keystone Bullet Premier (22RBPR) that has a dry weight on 4650 lbs. I have one BAL 28050 leveler (from prior popup trailer days) and was wondering if anyone is using two BALs on a dual axel TT? I have tried to find out the weight limit on the BAL 28050 but specs are not listed on line that I could see. I have plenty of space between the two tires (about 20") so that is not an issue.

Also....anyone using the Camco 44753 tri leveler?? Looks interesting and had pretty good product reviews. I'm wondering about ease of use and how to chock tires when they're up on a higher level???

Get the Anderson's and throw everything else away! I bought a set just before our last long trip and was amazed how great they work. As has been said they are a bit pricey but worth every penny. Actually I didn't throw the Lynx blocks away, they are good to put under the stabilizer jacks so they don't have to be extended as far.

To the OP. I have a little bit heavier trailer than you with dual axles and also have a set of BAL Levelers left over from my pop up days. I have tried to use them and it was difficult to lift the tires so I do not recommend them for anything except pop ups or really light trailers. How ever, they do work really well for getting rid of the wiggle in the trailer after it is set up. Just slide it under and crank it up just enough to put some pressure on the tire. I use it every time I set up. Give it a try. I use the simplest and cheapest levelers with much success, 3/4 inch plywood cut about 18 inches long. Good luck

Just pull off them. They have a video on their site also on you tube. Check it out, it's neat how they work.

Is it easy to remove the chock part from the body after a few days of camping or do you just pull off them?

Done!

Because they are curved upwards, those levelers look like they would be more difficult to back the tires up on to. But you said they were easy? Do they rock/tilt as the tires roll over them to make it easier?

Some of the BAL scissor jacks are called stabilizer/leveling jacks. I have four I use for both.I think it's camping world's description of fine tuning the leveling of your trailer.

Those that day there stabilizers only, would be wrong.

Those that think their TT frame can handle the stress of leveling their trailer by jacking it up at the 4 corners could be wrong.

any thoughts on the Camco 44753 tri leveler?? A lot of good reviews but I wonder how easy they are to use? And would they work with a tandem axel??

[Rustycamperpant]

The leveler is wide enough to utilize the entire width of the tire. The Bal leveler is a must have for a smaller single axle camper. Two may work on a tandem.

I'm sure I would not want to park a tire in that contraption -- full weight on just the outer edge of the tire, side pressure applied to the tire from odd angle of the thing.. Why not just park it on a " big ole rock" be 'bout as good.

These scissor jacks may be strong enough for leveling, but the TT frame usually is not.

In most spots along the frame that is very often true.

I used a Bal leveler on our PUP, it is now for sale since we are TT people now. I think the tire diameter on a bigger camper would not allow the use of the Bal leveler. My pup had 14" wheels and sometimes it was a struggle to get under the tire on a soft camping spot. Just my .02

I missed the fact that the BAL 28050 was an actual leveling device, I assumed it was a scissor jack since the part number seemed so familiar to me.

Yep, this is what we are talking about.


Very popular among popup and other small single axle trailer owners.
