Leveling question

When we traveled with our travel trailers we used the Anderson Levelers to get everything ship shape. Now that we have moved on to our Four Winds 26B what is recommended to level the beast. I’m just not sure if any of the Anderson type levelers are strong enough and wide enough so that the tires sidewalls will be supported. What have you found that works well. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks, Phil

You should be fine for the front tires.... Not sure about duel rears.

The ones I looked up on amazon are rated "up to 30,000#"

You might get some stackable blocks as well for the rear tires ("Campo FasTen or Lynx levelers"). They make a double wide one as well.

I think the Andersons would work well on the front but not sure on the back.

Thanks, I have been reading about the Lynx and they sound pretty good.

I prefer the yellow campco blocks. They hold up much better. The orange lynxs got smashed and cracked after the first season - I had to chunk half of them. My Campos are as good as new after two season.

I also installed the Big Foot levelers but I use the campco blocks under the feet for extra lift (when needed) and to keep the jack pads from sinking into loose soil.

Camco

I had the Lynx and they worked well but were bit of a hassle when trying to use for the duals. Then I saw that the Camcos come in both single (yellow) and dual (brown) sizes and can be mixed. Much more convenient and versatile.

I also have a24fe (2018) and have been seriously looking at the Bigfoot system. I am leaning towards the automatic system because it can also be used manually. Did you run into any clearance issues with the install? Did you have Quadra do the installation? Is there any other advice or suggestions you can add regarding your experience?


I certainly appreciate your response.



Bob
