Just moved up to a Connect 231BHKSE from a pop up. Now that we have a double axle trailer I am looking for some new leveling blocks. Just wondering what type of leveling blocks others use and why you like them.
Thanks

I do like the looks of the Anderson blocks, I just wonder if people have problems with them scooting when you start to back up onto them.

I ordered the roll up blocks similar to Andersons, but they come with a non-skid mat. I will let you know (in a month or so) how they work.

I read the reviews on Amazon, says they will scoot occasionally when running up on them, the biggest deterrent is they are hollow & in soft condition will sink in & flex sometimes cracking them. |

We've been using the yellow campco block and they work just fine. We installed the LevelMate Pro system. It's great. When I pull in, I look at the app on the phone and I know exactly how many blocks I need to level the trailer.
We bought some blocks similar to the Anderson that I'm going to try this season. With the LevelMate, I should be able to hit level the first time every time. We'll see.

I did use the Andersons for several years and never had them scoot out. The hardest part was moving inches and not feet after have used blocks. Unless they changed the are no hollow they had holes and hard plastic. I did have one of the small wedges go bad, they replaced it free. I did not have a 4X4 back then and the moving inches may have been easier in 4-low.

We used our Anderson knock offs this past weekend. They worked really well. It actually took me longer to get them out of the cardboard box than it did to level the camper. The site we were on was paved. I'll have to wait and see how they work on gravel. Only negative is the brand I bought did not come with a storage bag. For now I am storing them in the cardboard box they came in, once that falls apart I'll have to come up with something else.

Anderson and Tri-Lynx levelers work great for us. Going to use our newly purchased BAL X-Chocks this weekend.

2- 2x8 6 foot long. I use 1 or 2 depending on the terrain.
Camco blocks for the stabilizers. Get them at Wally World.

To update from my post 2 years ago. With the LevelMate Pro and the Anderson type blocks. It's so easy. You do need to use the rubber non-slip pads most of the time, but you'll figure it out when you need them and when you don't. I like the Anderson type because I back in about 2' short of where I want to be, put the Anderson type blocks under the low side and back up until the LevelMate Pro says I'm level or the wife yells at me. If I'm only off an inch or two, I use one block on the two axle trailer. If it's more than that, I'll use both blocks. Never takes us more than about 10 minutes to level and unhook the trailer.

We have double axle and definitely prefer tilt ramps We used wood initially but find the ramps better. Just go very slow so you don't roll right up and over amzn.to/3VhEJoo |

And definitely a LEVELMATE Pro is a big game changer for leveling... and the ramps amzn.to/453nXfV |
