Cool Leveling Blocks!
I found these leveling blocks on Amazon. I ordered 2 and got to try them out this past weekend. They are FANTASTIC!!! They make leveling so easy.
I had my wife place a level on the side of the Montana as I backed over it and she just told me when to stop when it was level.
So simple! No stacking of blocks and guessing at how blocks you need. What a great invention!!

Here is a video showing them in operation.

Please let us know how long they last. How heavy is your Montana?
Reviews I saw indicated heavy trailers can break them.
Thanks!

The construction appears very strong. They very heavy, heavier than I expected. They are suppose to support up to 30,000. I am at about 14,000.

Why would you need them if you have the 6 point leveling system?

They used to make ones like that out of aluminum for tandem rigs to drive on to change a flat tire. Probably was a bit bigger and you just pulled forward or backwards until the other tire was in the air.

I have 6 point leveling system and I have been at a campground where it was so un-level it raised my wheels off the ground and the front landing gear completely retracted.
I like to try and get it as close to level as possible before I activate the auto leveling system.

Not everyone has six point leveling. For those that don't these look pretty easy. Thanks leemedic for sharing. Jim

Thanks from another non-6 pointer for posting this. I've heard about them. I will definitely give them a shot.

We spend as much as a month parked in the same CG. I can't imagine spending a month on those levelers...wouldn't think it would be good for the frame either.

Tom, I don't see where it would be any different than parking on blocks or pieces of lumber. The tire is still supported the same, Help me understand what would be different. Jim

For those that need them they look like a good option for sure.

It would be no different than parking on the 2x6 boards I park on now when leveling is needed. I am also ordering some as they would take up a lot less space than the two 6' long 2x6 boards I carry.
