people always ask us how do you level your camper so quick
hey y'all i'm jimmy and i'm lisa today you'll find us leveling and unhooking
our camper in just a few easy steps and make sure you stay to the end
because we'll have a bonus item for you thank god for our friends over at
anderson hitches they came to our rescue once again
back when we had our travel trailer that did not have auto level
we used the anderson camper levelers that saved us from having a bunch of
pieces of wood floating around on the back of the truck
or bags of those stackable blocks stackable blocks
how many times does it take for you to get the right number stacked up just the
right way so that your camper's level how many arguments did we go through
yeah so that's why we had the anderson camper levelers
so when we got our first rv that had six point auto level
we thought oh we won't need those levelers anymore because it's auto level
the only problem is on some sites that really are unlevel
it would pull pick all the tires up off the ground on one side of the rv
now is that a good thing or not that's a big controversy that we have on all the
pages that we're on a lot of people say it won't hurt
anything for those tires off the ground some people say we don't
want our tires off the ground we we like it so everything's level to
the ground touching the ground because have you ever had one of those
axles flipped when those axles flip it's not real easy to get flipped back
around so we would rather have all of our tires
touching something so today we're going to show you how to
use the levelers whether you have auto level or not
there's a couple different ways that you can install a level
on your pin box that you can see from inside of the truck so you know which
way you need to go or with the auto level when you open up
the panel it'll tell you which side needs to be raised up so that you know
where to put the levers so let's get to it so if you're using the
manual method where you have a level mounted
on your pin box it looks something like this
they do make a larger one but ours hasn't come in yet
so when you're looking at it the bubble is
to the passenger side so that's the side that we need to raise
up so in this example we're going to put the blocks in front of the tires
so you can see how it would be if he was pulling forward onto them
now that we're level we just chalk it and walk away
that's it
so when you're using the auto level system when you turn it on
the lights are going to blink in the areas that need to be raised for the
camper to be level so the right side needs to come up and
of course the front that'll fix itself when we get it off the truck
um so i can stand here and watch this and as jimmy
slowly backs up or pulls forward depending on your site and where you
want to be when he gets to the right spot on the
levelers that light will quit blinking and i can tell him to stop
what that also means is we need to put the levelers on the right side of the
trailer so that it will lift it up level if
you're using the manual option you're going to have the level
mounted on the pin box and you're going to put the blocks on
the opposite side of where the bubble is so if the bubble is on the passenger
side of the truck you're going to put the blocks on the
driver's side and vice versa so let's get lovely so as we discussed
the light on the right hand side is blinking so jimmy's gonna pull forward
slowly checking every couple of
checking every little bit to see when the light goes off
and there it is the light is off so that should be pretty close to level
now we'll just chop the wheels unhook from the truck
and run the auto level so the jacks come down our second product from anderson's
that we never leave home without is a trailer jack block
which is this so when you want your rv to be stable when you're in it
the way to do that is to keep the jacks from being so far
extended so this provides a couple of different things
it's these are magnets so it will stick to the feet of your jack you just slide
it under there and it'll hold on to it it provides a bigger footprint and it
gives you some extra height which means your jacks don't have to
extend as far so it helps with some of that wobble you feel
wobble baby wobble baby wobble we have six of these
we usually only use four just because the sights we go to
if there's not enough clearance between the ground and the foot of your jack
then obviously you're not going to use these so we always use them on the front
and then we usually use two more either on the middle or the back jacks
sometimes we're fortunate enough to be able to use all six and it really just
depends on the layout of the site so we're going to show you how to use
these just to get the rv off the truck and we'll use them on the
front feet of the jack and they are 100 100 percent made in usa
and they were guaranteed for life we have broken one we've taken pictures of
them sent it back they sent us a new one
and when he says we broke it we didn't break it in half
it was our fault it was our fault and just this little lip broke off
and there was no damage done we were in a site where when we
tried to get the camper off we should have taken these off first off the back
before we unhooked from the truck and we didn't
so then they were kind of wedged in there
just like that it sticks
so with all those anderson products we just showed you it really is
that easy to level this big camper and you can buy
products from anderson in different kits and packages
and a bonus product that we got only because it came in a kit i wouldn't have
bought it otherwise is this clean stuff that i'm standing on
and it is rough on bare feet but it is made out of the same hard
durable plastic that their other products are made out of
and it is awesome for just scraping mud sand everything off the bottom of your
shoes flip flops whatever and it's lightweight and it comes
in some of their kits so a little bonus product if you're interested
i was kind of skeptical at first but it turned out to be one of my favorite
things from them if you haven't already subscribed to our
