Because my mind was on stabilizing my camper I also sprung for some Andersen Levelers and a gadget which I really didn't need, the ReVo Leveler.

With the Andersen levelers you just roll up on them, from 0-4", until the camper is level. Then you use the included chocks to lock your wheels in place.

To help in that endeavor I purchased the ReVo Leveler which is basically an electronic level which you mount to the camper and which you can see through your truck mirror.

Once initial install is done and you've zeroed the ReVo, you just attach it and press the L/R button. In a few seconds a red arrow will light indicating which side to put your levelers on. It will also tell you how many inches you will need to raise the camper so if your using boards of plastic blocks, you'll know how many you'll need.

Then you roll your camper onto the Andersen Levelers until the green arrows appear.

Here's a couple of shots of the L/R and F/B level of my camper.

But I would miss my wife waving frantically at me to stop then having me move forward or back a little more before waving again with both hands. The Revo would eliminate the entertainment of the leveling effort and make my wife feel neglected and under-valued. This device is a bad idea...:)

Between the backup camera (Which RAM actually calls a "Marriage Saver") and the Revo my campouts are much more pleasant. Now I just need a camera on the back of the camper and they will be heaven!! ;)

Kidding aside, I might like this one better:

Had I seen that LevelMatePRO I would have had a difficult time deciding but with the ReVo I must say that I felt comfortable and aware of my surroundings while looking into the mirror to level the camper. Not so sure how I'd feel looking at a smart phone or trying to keep one eye on the mirror and the other on the smart phone.

I'm still considering the options and may just remain with the current team setup.

I like the thought of the Andersons but hate spending the money.

I bought a set of Anderson Levelers last season. Have used them twice so far. I must say they are one of the best investments I have made for the camper.

The Anderson levelers are a close second best accessory purchase I made (with the first being the Bauer combo door lock). I have yet to be in a site that requires more than 4 inches of lift. I have a rubber pad to place between the Anderson leveler and my wood block if I every need to get higher.

Although the ReVo and LevelMatePro are pricey, they have caught my interest. Thanks for posting the info on the ReVo. I may have to buy a Father's day gift for myself.

Cheaper than wife treats, but I love my wife and she's worth it. "bouncey:

I took the plunge and went for the LevelMatePro. A review to follow in a few weeks when it gets across the border.

I know this is an older post but just had to add my 2 cents! With our new TT purchase I started looking for different leveling systems out there before sticking the larger bubble levels to the outside of our unit. The best thing I liked about the ReVo was it was one unit. It doesn’t have to have an iPad or cell phone to connect to. I purchased it from Amazon for just a little more than 50 bucks so expectations weren’t the highest. We went to a local parking lot and set everything up as level as I could make it to initially set up the unit. On our 1st trip it was remarkable how simple things worked. I installed the unit in the nest I mounted on the side of the TT. Got the camper close to where we wanted it, then stacked the appropriate amount of blocks based on how high it told me it needed to be. I then locked it down with our x chocks. Then unhooked TV and made the front/ back adjustments and put down stabilizers! Done it all by myself in probably 5 minutes with no guess work. Could not believe how good this little box worked. We have used it 4-5 times so far without any trouble. Haven’t even had to recharge it yet! It may be trouble in the future but it’s great so far!
