I am contemplating purchasing a bal level and I read the on the box that it is for 13in, 14in and some 15in wheels. Does that mean it is not for 12in wheels? I am curious if anyone uses it on the 12inch wheels.

I think that concern may be that the tire is so small in diameter that the flat parts (that actually lift the tire) may cut into the tire. I personally can't imagine it but it may be one of those CYA things.

I just bought a BAL Leveler.  I have 13 inch tires.  I went home and tried it out in the garage.  It wasn't easy getting it around the wheel.  I imagine it would be fine with the smaller 12 inch.

Lynx levelers work with any size tire.

I too the plunge and bought the BAL leveler for my Rockwood with 12 inch wheels.  I just got back from a dry camp weekend and I just camped in the most unlevel spot I have camped in yet.  The Bal worked fine on my 12 in wheel.  Was glad I had it this weekend.

I used my BAL leveler for the first time a couple weeks ago.  The thing I like about it is that I don't have to do the whole backup and forth thing like you would with wood or those orange lego things.  I guess if I was more experience I could use something else.  But I like just getting there, backing up into my spot and turning off the engine so the kids can get out.

Maybe you can find someone close to you, or is there a Camping World that might let you try it on the lot?
 
 I used Lynx for years and they were fine.  I now use the Bal and hated it at first, until I carried a drill and 3/4" hex socket and swivel adapter to raise and lower the screw.  It just took sooo much more tme than the Lynx, using the wrench to raise and lower the Bal.

Just bought the BAL Light Trailer Leveler for use with the 12's on my Starcraft Nova.  Used it in camp-backyard prior to heading out on the maiden voyage last week.  Works fantastic and as another poster said, no jockeying around.  Put you PU were you want it, and level it off.
