More on leveling blocks...
« on: September 13, 2017, 10:30:24 am »
I started to dredge up an old thread on levelers and leveling blocks; but figured 'nuff said on all of those.  However, after having just returned from a trip to Montreal via some Ohio, PA and NY RV parks with varying level issues, I cannot praise these guys enough. . . https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T36J7ZQ/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I608KURSZTSUG&colid=2LUSJ51FSLEEE  From now on, I'll use my single wide Lynx Levelers on the front wheels and the double wide on the back.  I'm retiring the two Andersons; probably going into my next garage sale. If anyone in the area wants them, I'll sell both for $40.00 the pair (1/2 price)  They're too heavy to economically ship so you'll have to come and get 'em before we leave Chicagoland Oct. 5th.  ;)

I bought a set of these and the first time I used them, one broke. I repaired it with super glue and try not to use it. Two days ago another one broke while I was leveling the rig at another camp site. I don't know how long they will last.

Hmmm. Interesting.  They do seem to not like a stony surface, but so far mine have held up.  We are embarking on a 6 month trip out west to skip Chicagoland winter so we'll see how the levelers hold up.  More later. . . .

We do a lot of dry camping in national forests and state parks which are rarely level. When it was the back that needed the blocks the smaller ones just didn't cut it. So we purchased a set of these and love them.  Have had no breakage issues so far and used them several times over the summer. For us, traveling in the 2100, the issue is weight and where to store them. Have tried a few locations, but under the table is their current home.

And as always, don't forget redwood 2 x 8s and a few 1 x 8s for fine adjustment.  Redwood seems to be less prone to split than typical Douglas fir framing lumber.  A chainsaw makes a nice rough angled cut, and you can gouge it more for better grip.
