I assume this doesn't come in a model for trailers with dual axels does it?
Sure does.... it's called purchasing 2

Not trying to sound stupid but would this work out ok? I would buy two just for the ease of using these...I am going to be storing my camper at a campground where I call when i am ready to camp and they tow my camper to the spot for me (do not have a tow vehicle at this time so this is my option for now if i want to continue to use TT). So for me right now using leveling blocks isn't really an option without a TV to pull up on them. But a bal leveler (or two), i do believe would enable me to level without a TV.

ALL UNNECESSARY and a waste of money (in IMO) considering a couple of 8 footer 2x8's cut up in lengths with beveled ends will cost less than $10 and do the same job. Sure, the wood will take up a bit more room in the bed of the truck, but thats not an issue for me.
Not a waste of money if your dad gets two sets of the legos for you at a garage sale. I think he got each set for 2 bucks. I have used them numerous times and they work great. Also, if you just take a few minutes and look over your site and make an educated decision on the best spot, it is actually quite easy and does not require too many leveling blocks to get the job done. Anyway, I do recommend the lego (yellow) levelers. They have worked great for us.
Speaking of leveling, I have the graduated levels on the front and side of my trailer to check and see if the trailer is level. They are nice as they show in 1" increments so they make it easy to see how many blocks you need to make the trailer level. The only problem with the levels is I have them stuck on the trailer with the adhesive strip that comes on the levels and they will move from time to time. Do any of you screw them to the trailer and if you do, do you put caulk in the hole where the screw goes to keep it from leaking?

Does this sound about right?
it will really depend on how heavy the trailer is in your situation i would use a botle jack inbetween the axles and level that way dont let the jack down while the stabilizers are down though you could crush them

DH and I have come to think of the levelling as an "art".. and have a couple of tips. BTW, we have a double axle TT. We carry 2 lengths of 2x6's (I wish we had 2 x 8's as they would require a bit less precision)... the 2 x 6's are bevelled to fit on top of each other and form a bit of a ramp. We can avoid them sliding when we try to roll the TT back onto them by: DH drilled holes down thru them in a couple of places and if we need to avoid the sliding we bang a couple of small spikes (er.. 6 inch nails) down thru the predrilled holes and into the ground below... just enough to grab the dirt. My job is to wave him onto them and then run into the TT where I chuck a level on the floor at the point where the axle is (roughly)... hm.. to have it mounted outside on the rig sounds pretty good though. We also use the orange blocks shown above for just a bit more height. They work great for two axles as well. Once we are levelled side to side (and trust me, if you dive right in you get pretty good at it) the front to back is a piece of cake (too easy to even mention). I have literally taken a photo of our TT ramped up with the lumber and orange blocks, chocked and blocked with all manner of red plastic things, orange blocks and wood and then chuckled about the challenge later. This is our first year at it and the levelling came pretty quickly......working as a team.
So, why can't you use two of these for a tandem-axle trailer?

So, if most people use 1 1/2" thick boards for leveling, do you just live with being as much as 3/4" off of level? My DW is pretty picky about side-to-side leveling of the bed. When we had our popup, side-to-side wasn't as big a deal, as with all popups, the bed goes side to side. But with the TT we have now, our bed goes front to back, so side-to-side leveling matters more.
