What do you use most often to level your Pop-up?
AustinBostonLynx Levelers for us. They are nice and light and easy to use. Looking forward to using them with the Chock N block.
AustinBostonLynx Levelers--but if I had known about the Bal Levelor earlier, I would have opted for that even if it s a little more $$$.

AustinBostonEZ Ramp Levelers-- the stackable, interlocking 10-piece cousin of Lynx Levelers. Couldn t find Lynx locally at the time. Bummer, cuz the Chock n Block won t work on them. Has to cast my vote as if I had Lynx levelers, it s the closest category.
Problem is, they break if not used on a perfectly flat surface (had two crack on me over three years). Like Scott, would have went with the BAL Leveler had I known about it. Since my EZ set is now down to 8, I m in the market for a BAL.
Hey, Austin, you forgot one category sometimes used by the misinformed: the four factory-installed " leveling jacks" at each corner of the trailer. [;)]

I d guess the " You mean it s supposed to be level?" vote.
AustinBostonI use my eyes.................................. to look at the levels[8D][8D][8D]
AustinBostonUsed the boards right along, so I voted for them; however, with the new BAL, I ll be using that instead. [:D]
AustinBostonWe use the EZ Ramp Levelers - got a really good deal on them last year at Camping World (I think around $26) for a set of 10 with the bag. I also got one of the Ez Tongue Chocks (//%22http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm?skunum=18667&src=SRCH&tcode=37%22) - very handy, and it fits right on top of the levelers, inside the bag - very nice storage feature. The only thing I don t like about them is that since they are not perforated like the Lynx Levelers, if there is mud stuck to them when you put them back in the bag, they don t dry out. I try and do a thouough slug check (yuk!) before I put them away. Next time around, we d probably go for the BAL Levelers.
AustinBostonI just got Lynx levelers last year, but now I am thinking about the BAL leveler.
AustinBostonI use either the lynx levelers or my BAL leveler, depending on how easy the site is to back into. If it is real easy I may use the Lynx, if it is real hard to back into I may use the BAL.
AustinBostonHad to check boards because that s what I ve used for the last 4 years! I took 2 pieces of 2 x 6" lumber, 1 pc 30" long and 1 15" , screwed together with angle cuts on the leading edge. This gave me two levels 1 1/2" and 3" to level with.
HOWEVER, this past Fall I purchased a BAL leveler and then got a great deal on a set of Lynx levelers so I ll try both!
AustinBostonI ordered the BAL leveler so can I change my vote?[:)]

The follow-up post has the " most often" qualifier, so until you use the BAL leveler more often than your previous selection, No! you may not change your vote![:D]

AustinBostonStarted out with the Lynx levelers but bought the BAL leveler once I found out it existed. It works great. Now I use the Lynx blocks under my corner supports.

AustinBostonHi everybody[:D],
Having double axles, I have three sets of Lynx levelers...and I ve had to use them all on an occassion or two. If the ground is really uneven (like with broken/missing pieces of cement or asphault), I use some 9" X9" - 1/2 inch thick plywood squares so the Lynx levelers have a good base and are more level. With the additional weight of a hybrid, I have stressed out a few of the levelers. Now, using the plywood squares on potholed site trailer pads I don t have that problem.[;)]

My vote was " boards" , because I can t afford to buy the BAL Leveler that I really want right now. I guess I will have to wait for someone to come down east to Nova Scotia from the US and bring one for me to save on the shipping.
To buy one and have it shipped to my home, I m looking at about $140.00 CDN. More than I can justify for a leveling device. Boy I wish I lived in the States. I d only be looking at about $80.00 US then.
Anyone coming my way... who would be willing to drop off a BAL?
Today s Date: 24 Mar 03
Well, no takers on dropping off a Bal Leveler, and seeing as Camping World had them on sale with $1.00 shipping fees, I broke down and bought one. No more boards for me anymore. Instead of paying about $140 CDN, my cost should come to about $76.69 CDN. Much better than I first thought I could get it for.
Have a great day everyone.
AustinBostonwe started out with Lynx levelers and liked them a lot for their light weight, but they have disadvantages when you are setting up camp alone. so we moved on to a BAL and LOVE IT! BUT, it is much heavier than the LynxLevelers as well as a bit more expensive. We couldnt camp without the BAL now!
AustinBostonWe were fine with wood until Santa brought me a BAL Leveler...now I wonder how I ever got along without it! As NightOwl mentioned, it is somewhat heavier, but if you " weigh" the benefits, it s light by comparison.[:)]
Happy Campin <><
AustinBostonAftre hearing everyone sing the praise of the BAL levler, I got the local Starcraft dealership to throw one for $65 when I purchased our trailer today.
