Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you drive onto these levelers aren't you leveling side to side?snip!


winnie does not make a TT or 5er which sounds like what you are talking about. I wondered why winnie didn't get into pull behinds, just buy out a closing manufacturer.

Well Bumpy Winnebago did make Travel Trailers back in the 60's and 70's

this one is:

In addition to my Home Made Ramps, I have a "case" of the Lynx/Lego plastic levelers for on the road as they are light and take little space to store. I also carry a couple of short 2x8 & 2x10's as you never know when you will need them

yes, I said "does not make", not did not make. I have been at the plant and seen the old TTs on display.
I suppose it is possible that a winnie TT is still on the road.

Also saw where you could add some dowels to the bottom of the ramps, so that you can put two side by side (and have them basically lock together) for the back tires.


Did you see that tip in the newest issue of Motorhome magazine?

Bumpy, I put a couple side by side and they cover my duals pretty easily. Actually, right now I've used an entire set to level one side of my mh.

I have used these for about 3-4 years now. Have been very happy with them. Have 4 of them so that I can cover duals on rear and two fronts or just both duals. Have never needed more. Had some I built out of wood, very heavy, always breaking and having to rebuild. Plastic much lighter and have not had a problem with them breaking. Had the lynx lego ones, after shattering a few of them with the weight of my Class C, gave them to a friend that had a TT.

Camco Tri Leverlers. About $ 18 each.

Made some about 10 years ago. Used 1 1/8" flooring plywood cut in 8 1/2" wide strips. Lengths very similar to above diagram. Varnished - sprayed rubber coating on bottoms - to keep from sliding. Still using about 25# of them.

Quick Trip, My ClassC did NOT have levelers. Used appropriate # of blocks on which ever (1-3)tires/corners needed raising. (Just like your TC)Why assume all MH have levelers?//

(OP's sig/profile is photo ClassC - looked before I answered.)

For leveling side to side I have the orange level blocks that were mentioned before if I only need 2 inches of lift but I really like these. I got 4 Camco Tri Levelers from Tweetysfor $14.44 each + shipping. The first time out was a GA state park that the site was not level and they were fantastic and very easy to use.
