I use the Anderson's and they are easy and solid. Yes, I think they are a two person operation, but the wife handles the level while I handle the truck and it takes all of 5 minutes (maybe) to get the trailer on bubble.

We use the Anderson Leveling system. We bought 2 and even with my 9 year old jumping around in there it stays pretty still!

We LOVE,LOVE, LOVED our Bal leveler when we had our PUP. We were sadly disappointed when it wouldn't fit our new single axel, not because of the weight but because of it being a radial tire, it just wouldn't fit. So we use boards. I did see this on AMAZON and was tempted but thought the $$ was ridiculous but now am considering it again. Thanks for the link!

I use the Andersen Levelers and am very happy with them. I have to level my TT even when on level ground, because when I put the slides out, it puts the trailer off level. To me they are worth the cost because you can get it perfectly level every time.

Don't every use any sort of tire shine while your tires are sitting on them. I can't use them in my driveway anymore because they just shoot out from under the camper. There is not enough friction to hold them in place while I try and drive up on them. I have to use the blocks.

They work great in campgrounds, but I still bring all of the leveling blocks because I don't want to get to a campground and have the same issue I have at home. So for me they don't save any weight or storage space, but it is super easy to have my wife hold the level on the side and tell me when to stop rather than guessing how many blocks I need.

If they accidently became contaminated from tire shine, can't that be cleaned off of them? Goof-off or something similar maybe?

You know, I never tried. I tried putting a cross hatch pattern on them, but at this point I think the stuff soaked into my blacktop. I even tried taping them in a little with a hammer before tying to get the trailer on them (I tired backing and pulling forward) and I actually broke part of one (it still works). I emailed Anderson and suggested them put some sort of hatch pattern on them to increase traction.

Like I said, I love them in the campsite. That's what I get for trying to detail my trailer!

We just came back from our first trip using them and they are AMAZING! We are such newbies to the TT world and we got our TT level and solid the first try aka about 2 minutes!

Worth every dime

LOL comical how easy it was! I looked at my husband and said wow, that is IT o.O

Just returned from our fist run with the Anderson leaving shims. For sure the way to go. I've never had any real problem with leveling my tt but this cuts the time way down. By far the fastest and most accurate way that I have placed and set up any trailer on a uneven surface.
10 out of 10 .....

Is everyone using 1 even with a tandem axle trailer?

I use Lynx Blocks for levelling, Tire changing and under the stabilizers when needed.

I use two. I have read that you can use one, but I have not tried. It seems that it would loose a little stability using one, but that's just a guess.

I use two. I will add that after my experience today in repackaging my wheelbarings I might consider buying the taller of the two options. I believe that you could role one tire over just one shim and it would elevate the other tire of the ground making for a easy repack or tire change. Either way im still very happy with the product.
