Anderson 3604 RV levelers

Has anybody tried these. Sound good for those of us that don't have a level up system.

Thinking of trying a pair

They seem to be a similar design to the Trailer Aid blocks that you supposedly change tires with. I would hope they work better as the Trailer Aids have 5/16" bolts as feet screwed to the bottom which annoyingly slide across concrete or asphault while you try to pull up on them. The Andersons don't appear to have that disadvantage.

Have not yet, but after reading about them lately I will be ordering a set for next year. Looks much easier than the two 2"x6"x6' boards I carry now.

Been there done that. Before I bought my 2015 with levelup I had a 2010 and I got a set of the Anderson level system. They worked great and using a level on the side of the rig and having the wife back the rig onto the ramps made it a one shot deal. Watch their video on how to use them and they work great. Of course about 6 months after I bought them I traded the 2010 for the 2015. But again I highly recommend them.

Just watched a video on these and seems like a great idea!
One question I have...seems like it would be best to use a pair (one for each axle) rather than just one and have one tire up on the leveler and one down on the ground. Thoughts?
Seen it done both ways, doesn't seem like you would get the "lift" because the equalizer would just move to compensate somewhat with just one?
Or just get two of their Rapid Jacks (include their chocks) and you can both level using two even higher if needed or use one to lift the other tire if flat?

If I didn't have the level-up system I would have to try them, one for each axle.

I just ordered a pair for myself for Christmas. They look like a super easy way to level up and I agree I think you would need 2 one for each axle that's why I got a pair of em. We are heading out Christmas day I will report back how they work

Been using them for a year myself, actually sitting on them right now. They work great, but depending on the ground you're on they have a tendency to sink in from the trailer weight. I created my own "hoss pads" from a 1/2 inch horse stall mat that I purchased from Tractor Supply. I put the pads under the levelers if the ground is soft.

They are so easy to use. No more guesswork I use a level and wife drives the truck. I use 2 because i have 2 axles. I may need to get 2 more for the garage for when I change the oil in my cars.

They look clever enough, but I would be concerned about movement so I might add an X-chock between the tires when you finally find the level. Then triangle chock the other side.

I use the stackable orange Lynx thingies but it can be frustrating estimating how many to stack, then being wrong and having to back off and restack but it's what I do. This seems easier except for the fear that I might be so offlevel I drive off the higher end, ouch. Deginitely need a spotter. Fortunately the thickness of the fat end looks like they can support quite the offlevel. If you can't level side to side at the maximum height of those levelers, then back off and go find a flatter site.
