QS camp wish list..

I changed the thread title. Why is it when Christmas shopping I always see cool stuff for me!  

Valterra stabilizer. Pretty simple. Wonder how they'd work ...

Charles - I agree. The BAL Leveler makes set up so simple. Of course dual axle rigs can use them too - just buy two.  8-)

Yea, I've looked at the BAL leveler. That might be on my list too. The Valterra units are not for leveling, only for  stabilizing once you're level.

[admin]

I originally wanted the BAL leveler for quite a while and in some ways I still do. However (and maybe its just that i've been lucky so far) most of the time I find myself in an unlevel situation, I'm in a gravel/dirt lot. Then all I do is dig out a little track for my high side wheel to sit in. If its real bad, I have a little 1x6 board that I can drive the low side up on as well. So I question if its worth giving up the space to store the leveler...

[catmanriff]

I thought similar thoughts. I have some leveling shims out of wood. They also have the plastic stacker types.  The QS 10.0 isn't hard to push or pull onto something. So, is a BAL worth it, especially for the space it eats up?  I take it you'd really only need one and it would go under the low side..

[admin]

Yeah I figure one for the low side should do the trick. Like you said though, the QS is not difficult to move around so I cant think of a time where it was really all that difficult to get the rig level.

[peislander]

I find there's hardly a campsite that I don't use my BAL Leveler. Sometimes it basically a glorified chock without any lift but typically I'll use it to lift 3/4" to an 1-1/4". It will lift more -- and that tends to come in handy when I find myself parked on grass. The thing is with one you won't pay as much attention to getting the camper in a level spot as you can deal with most situations. You just arrive & park then level.  The Bal Leveler can be a bit of a nuisance on soft soils as sinking into the ground can make it hard to remove. 

The image below shows mine in a relatively high lift position. One advantage in such situations is it is very stable. Far more stable than propping the wheel up on a scrap of firewood.

[p]We have a Bal Leveler that my brother gave us and we have used it a couple of times. For storage a padded pizza delivery bag works great.[/p]
