Just ordered one from RV Parts Center in Riverside, CA.  It was $51.84 plus UPS shipping and that was the best price I've found so far.  I called them directly.

BAL light?  Whats the weight limit?  Is this the same BAL leveler that everyone raves about?

Yes this is the same BAL leveler that some people rave about.
The term "BAL light", is refering to light, single axle trailers, such as a pop up tent trailer.
Not to be used on 20,000 pound triple axle fifth wheels :yikes:

Nice price though!

Golly, that's got to be at least twice or maybe three times what I paid for my Lynx levelers...

Takes me less time with Lynx than the BAL to level.  I can use them under the tongue jack for badly out-of level sites, and have done so.  I have used them in various other ways at the campsite.  If I got what I paid for, you got way less than what you paid for.

That's one of us.  I have Lynx levelers also, but I'd much rather use my BAL.  I use the Lynx for anything else.  Works great for tables.

What's the best for you is not what's best for me.

I just use cut 2x6 boards and it works great. Plus they were free because they were left over from an outdoor project.  And I have just as much fun camping.

AB, you just love to jump on threads and brawl.  Too funny.

The point of the thread was to let others know that I'd found what I though was a decent price for the BAL leveler.  It wasn't to debate who's gear is better and why.

I didn't bring up the "which is better" part; I brought up which is cheaper.  Besides, I am seldom actually trying to brawl, just "stirring the pot" so to speak.

I don't keep track, but I think I do about one in three - one helpful post for three "zingers."  I also cancel about 1 in 5 posts (before I post) because I decide it goes too far.  Some people would be really surprised at some of the things I've written...and not sent.  :yikes:

I want this  to level mine! It would only take 2, one for the front and one for the back. $1,300 should cover it!   :p

Why bother with a manual system?
Go the whole hog and get a fully automatic, electric leveling system and be able to level you trailer without even breaking a sweat!

Automatic Leveling

Normally $5,152 on sale for $3,999

Now we're talking! And even better, if someone would just integrate an automatic lift system into the leveling system, then you could just push one button, the roof would raise up and the frame would level. Just think how much quicker setup would be!

Oh, and we could have motorized bunk ends that would roll out on their own, and ....

Anybody want a $30k pup that weighs 8,000 lbs.?

You can do all that for $5,000?  The list price for some of today's Fleetwood pop-ups tops out over $25,000 already!  :yikes:
