Leveling Blocks for 2017 Gemini TB
I’d like to purchase leveling blocks for my 2017 Gemini. I know I need something for dual tires, but other than that what should I be looking for? Thanks.

Look for plastic interlocking blocks purpose made for the job. They’re an inch thick and you can interlock them into a ramp to get the height you need. They come in a double wide size for duals as well. They’re not as cheap as you’d think but they work well, don’t get waterlogged like wood and are easy to rinse off. I found it to be worthwhile to carry quire a few because I liked to build stepped ramps if I needed to go up as much as 3 inches.

The next question: do you have the room available to store them?
(Just a thought... )

Thanks Pete. How many are quite a few? The one’s I’ve seen come in packages of 10. Is that enough for a Class C?

I was hoping you’d deliver them to wherever I was camping.

I use the Camco Fasten 4x2 levelers and they can be used for the rear or the front tires.I also have a set of square ones. For storage mine are kept in the large storage bin and put on a shelf made of a piece of plywood I cut to size that fits between the ends. The shelf gives me twice the space to store a lot of gear. (BBQ, small tool box, plumbing parts, a spare jug of DEF and a 5 pound propane tank plus a pack of square levelers)

I have two sets (10) of the lego square blocks. I used all of them last weekend to bring up the rear. I do a graduated stack for the outer wheel and a straight stack for the inside wheel. I could have used another set and am looking at a set of the FasTen Heavy-Duty Leveling Blocks for Dual Wheels, Set of 10

I bought these 10,000 lb rated ramps after a pair of 5,000 lb rated ones failed on the front, 2,700 lb rated tires. They have worked very well, raise 6.5", are only required on the outside dually and have a long slope up. But it will be difficult to find a place to store them. My Axis 24.1 has a perfect place but most MHs don't.
See: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also have a pair of the Oxgord ramps referenced above. I use them on the front wheel when I need side to side leveling in conjuction with the ones above on the rear, but I wouldn't use them unless in pairs on the rear dually- too much load.

I carried 20. And sometimes it wasn’t enough. But storage space matters too.

I carried over my Lynx levelers from my Grand Design trailer to my class C. First trip was with blacktop pads. Those suckers slid (even when stair-stepped) like on ice! I had some rubber mats I put down under them, but they still slid somewhat.
The next trip I smashed a couple of them under the duallies.
Next trip was a 5+ hour drive to White Pigeon MI for a Big Foot leveling system. NOT CHEAP... $2,900+ ... but a whole lot less profanity when leveling time comes!
I have a bag of levelers (minus a couple smashies) for REAL cheap...

I agree: automatic leveling jacks do make the process quick and easy.

Yup! A leveling system is a huge convenience. Saves space, time, muddy knees and more.

That might be helpful for the young and limber...
But if I manage to get down on my knees: it takes a team of mules to get me back upright!
