They are a little pricey (more than 2x8's) but they are worth every penny you spend on these levelers.

Great idea and $40 isn't bad, but I'd like to try them before I bought them to see if they make a big difference. All the sites I went to last year were almost near level side to side so these would just sit unused.

15.6 x 6.2 x 5.1 inches
These are the dimensions. Mine are in storage for the winter and I can't get to them but I am pretty sure the width is 6.2".

We tried these out this weekend and had trouble with one of them continually shooting out from under the tire, not when we first drive up on it but when we moved the trailer further back to get things level. The ground was a concrete driveway, but the bottom of the levelers are really smooth. To be fair, the Lynx leveler squares we tried did the same thing. I was disappointed because if these had worked it would have been really convenient. We wound up using one on the front tire and two 2x8 pieces of wood on the back tire -- we were all puzzled why one would come out but not the other.
You can see in the attached image that when they work they really cradle the tire well, I've ordered some industrial grade friction adhesive pads to glue on the bottom to see if that helps. I think Anderson needs to make these with a rougher bottom to really help secure them in place while leveling. Mitch |

That is certainly a possibility, we'll give it a try. This was our first time to level the trailer so more experiments are definitely planned!

No, we didn't but that is on our list to try. The Lynx blocks had the same problem so I don't think the issue is unique to the Anderson Levelers. We did have to cut about 3 inches off the tips so they would fit between the wheels, and that probably didn't help either.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but do we need a single set (ramp and chock) or two? The video shows both ways. Our special order trailer will be here Monday and I would prefer to use these than the blocks we used on our Class C.

Not a stupid question. I have often wondered why the manufacturer shows both a single and a double in his promo video. It appears that one may do the trick but I suspect two would be much better. I went ahead and ordered two and was very impressed how they worked.

Is the guy in the video trying to build the pyramid of Giza with all those Lynx levelers?

I got a set of these last fall. Side to side leveling was so much easier. Whether or not they are worth the price is determined solely by what you are willing to pay to reduce the time and effort. We usually camp in state parks or county parks and the sites are not very level at all. These made a tedious, time consuming task effortless and quick. Worth every penny to me.
