I got my Anderson Levelers a few days ago.

Definitely needed to be trimmed, and the instructions say up to 4", which I did, at an angle using a Sawzall:






Still a fairly tight fit on my 21BHS - took some wiggling to get it in place on my gravel pad:






Wonder if I should trim the other one for a more symmetrical lift?

It actually looks like from your picture that your wheels are closer. When I trimmed mine I didn't have to remove any of the circular cavities and it still fit... Maybe the off-road package has a wider gap?

Got 'er done!*

I had a perfectly leveled and chocked camper in a couple seconds and I also tested that they would work for changing a tire. I would highly recommend them.[/quote]Before my trip back to NM I tried two 2x8's stacked and that amazingly was enough to lift a tire off the ground. Much much simpler than using a jack!  Camper levelers are on my wishlist though.

I travel with a full size spare. Our tow vehicle jack works on the camper but the lug wrench doesn't.  Make sure to carry a lug wrench for the camper.

I dunno why I think this, as I haven't checked, but I was under the impression, or delusion, that the stabilizer jack wrench was the same size as the lugs.

I'll check this one of these days. I'm too lazy today.

Carry a spare wheel/tire, too. Also carry a small 2 ton floor jack that works nicely on the CL axle.

Our stabilizers are the non-jack type.  You may be correct.

I didn't know there was any other type. Ours is your basic scissors jack bolted to the bottom of the trailer box (not the frame).

Back in 2011, mine came with the kind that swing down and then, extend to reach the ground.
