Levelers?
What do you use to level your trailer? I’ve got a passport 239ML and I’m new to all this. There’s about a thousand products out there to level your trailer, then of course there’s the option of using wood blocks.. suggestions please.

LevelMatePro and Anderson levelers are my choice.
https://logicbluetech.com/
https://andersenhitches.com/Products...r-leveler.aspx
Here is my review and opinions of others: http://www.keystoneforums.com/forums...t=levelmatepro
Note that the battery issue I described has been resolved with recent programming and hardware changes.

I used to just drive it up on blocks. Always considered getting the Anderson levelers.

I just used 2x6 blocks cut and beveled. those levelers still have to have something underneath if you set up on anything soft.

I always used wood blocks, then went to the plastic "Lego" blocks. Now have the Andersen levelers and they are a GREAT improvement over the others. Love the chock on them. Then get the Andersen Rapid Jack and use the chock from the levelers on it as well.

I have a 12" level gauge mounted on the pinbox. While sitting in the driver's seat I can see the gauge. Each mark is 1" at the trailer wheels, so I count the marks, put that many "plastic lego blocks" (each is 1" thick) between and behind the wheels, back onto them, block/chock the wheels, unhook the trailer and level "front to back" with the landing gear. Leveling is done, stabilizing consists of tightening the 6 hand screws on the BAL stabilizer bars and we're ready to plug in power, connect water and sewer hoses. Then it's deploy the awning and break out adult beverages. Total time, typically 10 minutes. Breaking camp takes longer, primarily to drain hoses, clean blocks and get everything back into storage bags/boxes.

Here's what it looks like from the driver's seat. I suppose you could call it a "pre-historic EZ Level Gauge" (batteries not required) LOL

An Acculevel works well on a FW, but with a TT and crew cab TV, I could not see the bubble/ball.

I'm going to try a smaller level on the generator door up front of the camper and see how well it shows up on the denial back up camera.
