Levelers for 23b

Has anyone tried the curved leveling blocks made by Andersen for use on their 23b? Is the inside distance between the two wheels enough to use two leveling blocks?

Haven't tried those. I just stack the lynx levelers and drive up on them. So far I've not had to go more than 2 blocks high. I just stick 2 in front of each tire, then drive up. I have 2 sets of lynx levelers (so 20 locks total). I use the remaining ones for the tongue jack, and to stick in between the raised side as wheel chocks.

I guess I should have added that I bought a set and it seems like a very tight fit between wheels to the point that the inside leveler jams between the tires. Just not sure if these are worth keeping. I love the idea and they get good ratings.

I see...The tires on the 23b are pretty close together. I can sorta relate... I bought the Fastway 1-step chocks and set them to the smallest setting possible, and they still wouldn't fit between the wheels of the 23b.

Yeah considering sending them back. It would be nice if they listed a min distance between tires.

Just purchased 2 and I've used them twice this year so far on my x20e (i assume it has the same gap between the tires). It's a tight fit, but if you 'stand' the inside block between the tires it rolls under just fine. Getting it out is a bit more tricky as I have to pull forward just enough to be able to push the leveler out from under the wheel.

A bit of a hassle? Yes, but it's still a really easy way to level the camper.
Definitely recommend.

Hope that helps.

The lynx levelers work but was looking for something simpler.

Ok, that's encouraging. Guess I'll try again. Thanks.

Everyone I've spoken with. You only need the levellers under one of the tandem tires to level a trailer side to side. You only need one of the tires off the ground.

When I only need a small amount of lift I have had success with using a single leveler. The rational side of my brain says that it's fine for the single tire to be elevated, but I'm pretty leery of torquing the suspension or frame very much. For that reason I'll typically use both, but it's possible.

They put tandem axles on our trailers for a reason. I level using both wheels. You wouldn't take one tire off and run it down the road, would you? If you only use one wheel you double the load on that tire and the 'torque flex' axle.
