Hi All;
I was reading through messages on here some time ago, and I came across a post about leveling an RV with hydrolic balloons. I think that's what they were called. does anyone know what I'm talking about?Or does anyone know of anything that would make leveling our 5th wheel easier?

I believe they were called Levelair and the manufacturer went out of business. I find carrying two 2 x 10's works for me.

You could no doubt use any kind of lifting type bag with either air (would seem to make a very bouncy platform) or fluid but I can't even IMAGINE why anyone would want to take that much time doing something that could be done in a couple of seconds with planks or only slightly longer using leveling blocks. Good luck / Skip

I like my levelairs and when they wear out I'll probably build my own. Here's a set of instructions if you want to give it a try. Build your own levelairs

The air bags are not bouncy at all. They take a couple of minutes to pump using a foot pump and take practically no storage space.

I built my own set of levelaires and use them every time. I use a cordless compressor from walmart. Just set them on the ground, back over them and fill to level. Easier then dealing with carrying blocks around and then I can't get them at the exact height I want
