Where did everybody buy they're leveler from? Who has the best price? I'm in the market for one before we get the new pop up.
I purchased mine from JC Whitney. They had the best price including shipping. You can also do a search for discount codes from them. What PU are you getting?:)
I got mine from The Sportsmands Guide (//%22http://www.sportsmansguide.com/%22). At the time they had a great price. I don't really know about now. If I bought one now, I'd probably buy it from one of the popup forum's stores. I get a lot good info and enjoyment out of the forums, so it's just a way to give a little back.
Bought mine from the PUX store

Another great pop up forum! I figure keep the money where the campers are!!
And mine came from Camping World, on Sale w/free shipping. But that was 5 yrs ago.
Check with a few local dealers. A friend just got a new to the PU, the dealer had 1 BAL that was around for a few years, they wanted to move it...he walked out the door tax and all for 50 bucks.
Mine came from the...oh, I don't have a BAL...I like my Lynx levelers. :D

We have purchased a 06 Bayside with air and heat strip, 4 place bike rack. Tradin in our 02 Laramie.
Swap happens on the 31st! :-() , wife and I both talk about p/u sooner but then you realize it's still March! :yikes:

Mine was free. :D I just had to drive 70 miles one way to get it. Yeah, some gas, but the price was right.

Came with the pup!
I'm with Austin, Lynx levelers = simplicity, ease of use, no maintenance, no moving parts, totally reliable even on soft ground.
Mine came with my PU too......one of the advantages of buying a late model used PU. :D
I bought mine used from someone who used to post here. I had the leveler before I owned the PU!
In theory I agree with you, AB and 'tired teacher. In practice, the BAL wins hands down for me. I can level all by myself and don't need one of the kids to help spot me onto Lynx levelers or wood. We tried that once and it didn't go so well.

Congratulations on the new PU. Did you find a BAL Leveler yet?:)

Wouldn't you want to use the BAL to level the pop-up but then insert the lynx levelers as a safety feature? Similar to car jacks and car stands.

Mike,
The Bal Leveler captures the tire and it can't roll off (or move in any way). In that sence, it's even safer than the Lynx Levelers (not that they are not safe).

Some things might not be worth paying for.
I have never heard of either a BAL or a stack of Lynx failing. As a normally overly-cautious guy, even I can't see much to be gained by using both, but if you're the belt-and-suspenders type, be my guest. I hope there's room under the BAL for a Lynx. :D

Thank you. I'm new to Pup up world. In fact, I don't own one yet, but I am a tent camper. So I'm learning and researching all of the Ins and Outs of a pop up and pop-up camping.

I use the Linx levelers with 2 of their Stop N Chocks. The BAL looks like it might be simpler to use thought. With the Linx you have to guess about how many to put on the stack and I frequently end up moving the camper on and off of the stack to get it right. I've also seen a ramp-type-wheel-chock-leveler that might work OK. Maybe when the Linx wear out.

My BAL lasted for about 6 uses before it broke at the welds. I can have it re-welded but what a hastle. Shouldn't it be made to support a tent trailer?

I would recommend getting in touch with the manufacturer. They have a great reputation.

Yes I did, MSCamping supply.... even picked up the camper a week early! :yikes: . Had it set up an hour after got it home and started wrenchin. :eyecrazy: This cabinet too big not to have a shelf in it. Ha Ha....Need to add pop a napkin here, pop a plate over there. Next comes the drain for fresh water tank.(so you don't have to get under it) And homemade TV antennae. You know all those things that the dealer said not to do!
PS the BAL leveler worked great! Have to raise one side of camper about 3" to make it level, it was solid never moved. (of course i put the pads down also) It's alot more stabil with the BAL as to the Lynx levelers.

Contact the manufacturer. They have redesigned it and I know of several people that have contacted them and been very satisfied with the service.
One pad came off mine, too. Called them, and had a new one, FREE, within 5 days!
