Hey everyone! Here is a link to the Camper Levelers: *affiliate link Andersen Camper Levelers - amzn.to/2sQUS3X Thanks for watching and for your support!
We have been using these for 4 years now. I drilled a small hole through the levelers and the chocks. Then ran a 2ft piece of paracord through holes. Then when I move the trailer, my wife can pull the chocks and then the levelers out without getting her hand too close to the tires. The paracord has a knot on each end so that it can be pulled from either side.
We've had ours for 3 years as well and love them. They work great. Somewhere along the way we've also acquired a set of rubber grip mats that help with the slipping.
Mortons on the Move - thanks for the video. I love the Andersen levelers, too. And bought 6" wide sandpaper roll with sticky backing (any hardware store) which I just "glued" around the whole leveler for enough friction that it never slides. Works great!
Excellent video Tom. Love the truck use idea as well. For the slipping. You can get rubber grip mats (normally in the trailer section) of retailers and stick it on. Just an idea!
We have been using these levelers on our 5th wheel for 4 years. I added a little item to mine. In the large curved part I drilled a parachute cord size hole in the center of the largest recess. I put a 2 ft length of cord through the hole with a knot on each end. This allows the cord to be pulled out on either side. Then I drilled a similar hole in both sides of the chock part. The cord is used when we are removing the levelers. The person pulling out the chock can pull the cord and not need to get your fingers close to the tire. then when I revers the cords on the leveler part are pulled out as well. I haven't tried this yet, but, it might be possible to place a stake and tie the chocks to the stake with a bungee cord so that pressure is removed, the chock will pull out and then reverse and a cord could pull out the leveler part. This would be useful on a dual axle trailer by a single person.
Question, if you are on an uneven surface, if you put the ramps under your tires and drive up on them, aren’t you still uneven? How do you use them to level side to side?
I just got these & LOVE them. I was looking at installing an electric leveling system but these are so cheap & easy. In the dark even. Can't say enough. Wish they would make them 6" though.
Great item. Had to trim one to fit between tires but it works fine. Slipping? 3M has adhesive sandpaper-like item available in a roll. Works well to stop the slippage; cheaper than the Andersen rubber pads. Lifetime replacement warranty!
I find these levellers very interesting but primarily RV alone. Im concerned you could easily over shoot the end of the leveler and the trailer would drop 4 inches. From inside the truck can you see the tires position on the leveler? Carrying the extra boards is a great idea.
Very informative however, what do you do if you have dual tires, two tires side by side on each side of RV? Also, what do you do if the campsite is not level side to side as well? Thank you
Resa & others: these are used only on one side of the trailer. For example levellers on passenger side, nothing on driver side. Dual axle - use two levellers on low side, one per axle, both on same side (eg. passenger side).
I would be a lot more impressed and inclined to buy if they had actually showed rolling onto to two of these levelers at the same time. They skipped that part and my guess is that it isn't as easy as they make it look. Maybe the levels spin out. Maybe its difficult to make both of the levelers connect with the wheels at the the same time. Maybe not but since they don't show us, how would we know?
great video thanks. We just picked up a Winslow by Excel....does your DRV have hydraulic jacks? also side question do you level your DRV prior to pushing slides out?
Yes our RV has hydraulic jacks, but not a leveling system hence why we use these. We only ever push the slides out if we are not level on quick stops and at that we dont push them out all the way. Its always best to be as level as possible before opening a slide otherwise its a lot of extra stress on the system.
these wont work with a 33" tire on my 4runner? not sure why height matters,, seems like width would matter more,, he specifies its meant for a 31" tire.. anybody using this on overloading vehicles with tires larger than 31"
That was addressed in the video. He carries two boards to place under the levelers. This provides up to 3 inches of lift for one side, which, combined with the 4 inches of the levelers, gives you 7 inches of lift.
You can use pressure treated decking material, AKA 5/4 x 6" boards. Two lengths will give you 2.5" of added height. If you routinely need more height you can add a length of 2x8 board which is actually 1.5" x 7.5" x whatever length you need for your application. Overall that would give you up to 8 inches of height.
I've went thrue two sets of them their junk they break don't bother. They have a lifetime warranty but I ain't worth of the dealing with it. If they didn't break that would be awesome.
Recently bought a pair like this but from a company called Beech Lane. They seem to more robust than the Andersen version and less expensive to boot. Plus after learning what the owner of Andersen Hitches did earlier this year, defacing a national monument, I will never buy anything from them again.

Just tried these for the first time - super easy. GREAT product!

a row of tek screws solves the slipping

we love these things. We were newbies when we bought them and they really helped level our travel trailer.
Question, if you are on an uneven surface, if you put the ramps under your tires and drive up on them, aren’t you still uneven? How do you use them to level side to side?

I've the Ground Conttol TT and the rear levelers are too close to the tire. No problem. I just roll forward onto them. Great product.
have you driven all the way to the other side by mistake and would this lever go flying backside and hit your RV?
Good video, very informative. What size of wood board do you use with these?
Great item. Had to trim one to fit between tires but it works fine. Slipping? 3M has adhesive sandpaper-like item available in a roll. Works well to stop the slippage; cheaper than the Andersen rubber pads. Lifetime replacement warranty!

would i need 2 kits for a dual axle?
What if you have a dually?
We have these and they do slide very easily on wet grass. Sandpaper would not help in this situation. We are going to try leveling blocks next.
Pretty happy with mine, easy to use. Only incident, I tossed one out of my truck and the front 4 inches snapped off, oops! I can still use them tho.
Levels side to side or front to back??
I love ours, makes it very easy and fast to level.
Excellent review. Thank you.
Very informative however, what do you do if you have dual tires, two tires side by side on each side of RV?
Also, what do you do if the campsite is not level side to side as well? Thank you
Then you use your brain... and hopefully figure it out...
@@koningbolo4700 that's kind of rude! I'm a new RVer and was wondering the same thing. You don't have to be a jerk about it!
@@fade2blk289 I asked the same question! That person was rude

they look slipping. also I have not seen full process so not sure how you get the full height w/o over drive
Do you need these if you have an "auto leveling system". Can you use them in conjunction with an auto leveling system? Thank you in advance.
Do you need a level in conjunction with these levelers ?
great video thanks. We just picked up a Winslow by Excel....does your DRV have hydraulic jacks?
also side question do you level your DRV prior to pushing slides out?

Mortons on the Move Thanks for the information as always. Maybe someday our paths will pass and we can say hello.
That'd be great! :)
And these will suffice in chocking your RV?
Very helpful, thank you
Great review.
Order one. Get one.
Thanks 😎👍🏼
You still vlogging?
these wont work with a 33" tire on my 4runner? not sure why height matters,, seems like width would matter more,, he specifies its meant for a 31" tire.. anybody using this on overloading vehicles with tires larger than 31"
Tire radius increases to the point where the tire will only contact the front/rear edges and then have to deform down into the "cup".
Good job !
Thank you!
What if I need more than 4 inches lift
That was addressed in the video. He carries two boards to place under the levelers. This provides up to 3 inches of lift for one side, which, combined with the 4 inches of the levelers, gives you 7 inches of lift.

We love ours!
Great info,thanks
Rock on
As of today 5/13/18 they are 41.30 per
Just use scrap 2x6 board pieces.
I've went thrue two sets of them their junk they break don't bother. They have a lifetime warranty but I ain't worth of the dealing with it. If they didn't break that would be awesome.

I heard the owners of Anderson level deface 🇺🇸 statues.
Way too expensive
Junk, broke first use.
