I am wondering how to level these campers when in a campground?
(It was simple with the single axle camper I had).
My Amerilite 21 foot camper has the dual axles and my ball leveler will not lift up both wheels on the same side. My yellow plastic things to put my wheels on will only do one wheel also.
I had not thought of this being a problem until out camping on unlevel ground.
What do you put under your tires to level your campers???
New to the dual axle camper needing advice please
Thanks :-)

Buy a bunch of the Lynx brand orange 1" squares; they're small enough to fit in between the tires of the dual axles, and drive up on enough of 'em on the low side to level you out. Use the hitch crank to level you out front to back. This is exactly what I do on my 24RB AmeriLite dual axle TT . . .

You can see pix if you like at http://picasaweb.google.com/earlphillip ... Campsite#; (http://picasaweb.google.com/earlphillips/2010SeasonalCampsite#;) there'll be several that'll show the camper from all angles, so you'll see how I levelled it out using the Lynx blocks.

Most of the time I do what EarlJunior suggests. Occasionally, when camping on soft ground like sandy soil, I will take out my shovel and dig in front or back of the tires on the high side. Move the trailer a little and voila! A bonus from this solution is that it also works as a tire chock.

You could just use some 2x6 pressure treated planks. I find most times, I only need one, but I usually carry two.
