I like how simple it is to use, but our fifth wheel cracked after four uses. It's been a little more than two weeks since we've been able to return. I'll reach out to the seller to see if they're open to a trade.
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all product. Contrary to the item description, it is only suitable for a limited number of applications. If your tires are only 3-inch wide, you'll need to make sure your axles are further apart than normal for a tandem axle vehicle. You won't be able to fit the second leveling chock in between your tires on the ground if they are 6 inches apart. They have instructions on how to modify and cut one of these down to fit, but cutting up a nearly $100 item just to get it to work for the first time is not a good solution. If you have a wide gap between your axles (a foot between the tires) or a dually, this should not be an issue. Another noticeable flaw is that they slide across the ground as the wheels roll up on it. I assumed it would work fine on dirt and pine needles, but I was completely incorrect. It still slid and carved out more dirt after removing the pine needles and over an inch of dirt! It's incredible how slick these are, even with the weight of the camper! To solve this problem, you'll need to cover these with traction tape/pads and modify them even more! When the product was expensive and described as an easy product to use right out of the box, I believe that the time spent cutting, modifying, buying traction material, and installing traction material was far beyond being worth it. I returned mine, and despite the fact that I was outside the return window, they were extremely helpful. I was hoping that this item would work out for me. If it worked exactly as described, it would be a huge time and hassle saver, and if they made a few minor tweaks, it would be well worth $100.
The first time they were used, both of them snapped in half. This was purchased for my tandem axle Airstream trailer. Both levelers snapped in half the first and only time I used it to level on a concrete pad - One is on the third hole, and the other is on the fourth. My trailers can only carry a maximum weight of 7,500 pounds. a lot less than the rated 30,000 lbs. A brochure was included with the product, which offered a three-month trial period. The levelers are covered by a one-year warranty, which states that if they break, they will be replaced. But, if I can't use it even once, I'm sorry, I'm not interested. for $80+! I'm grateful I bought it on Amazon because I was able to return it and get a refund almost immediately. Back to the leveling bricks made of plastic!.
Overall, I was a little disappointed with the quality. According to the instructions, up to 4 inches of axle spacing can be removed. I needed to get rid of two. Things appeared to be working well at 5 inches. The "block" broke in half the first time we used it. The product's specifications state that it can withstand 30,000 pounds, but our camper is only about 10,000 pounds when fully loaded.
This came with a few large cracks in the side holes, large enough for a toothpick and/or my knife blade to get stuck in. The levelers had broken, according to some customers. I can see how the plastic's strength would be harmed in this situation. especially when a trailer is slammed against it. br>I returned this order and immediately placed another order for the two pack. The second order arrived today, and it was exactly the same as the first, but even worse. Both levelers have numerous cracks. As a result, these will be sent back to you. Great concept, but the mold engineering is flawed, and I wouldn't bother with these until the mold is fixed.
Isn't that precise leveling? Not! Perhaps it's due to the fact that we have a fairly large rig - 38 ft - However, I was unable to keep these objects under the tires. When I tried to use them right out of the box, they just squirted out from beneath the wheel. I tried putting anti-skid tape on the bottom, but it didn't work. They just squirted out after the tape tore. I tried wrapping anti-skid tape around the wedge to help it grip the tire. Nope, one of the two was always the one to squirt out. The bottom surface was literally torn away by the tape. These might work well with a single axle rig or a smaller dual axle, but it appeared that as the weight was applied to the ramp, no matter how carefully you positioned them, one would get a smidgeon more weight than the other. The one that wasn't as heavily loaded would begin to slip a little, causing it to become even less loaded until it finally squirted out. Finally, I gave up and bought a set of Lynx levelers (which I should have done in the first place), which can also be used as a tongue jack base during load leveler bar installation or under your stabilizer jacks on extremely uneven ground. In the end, this item sounded fantastic, and I was desperate for it to work. as it appears to have done for others - However, $80 was squandered.
On my 8,000-pound truck, I used the levelers. For the first time in my life, I'm driving a fifth wheel. The rear leveler suddenly broke in half as I was pulling forward on them. I was planning on using them with my LevelMatePro, but I'm going to return them and stick with the "tried and true" plastic blocks instead.
The concept is excellent, and they perform admirably, but they require some 'assistance. ' Many reviewers suggest using grip tape to keep them from slipping. I did the same thing, and the plastic is so smooth that it peels right off the first time you put it through a heavy load. They could be dynamic if they just knurled or grooved the surface. mite. br>br>When they work, they are able to hit the perfect level with ease. All you need are axles that are sufficiently spaced apart. I had to remove 1 of them. They're 5 inches higher than mine, making them more difficult to climb. They were still snugly tucked in between the wheels. I've noticed that one of them will sometimes go under before the other, preventing me from achieving maximum lift. On soft ground, they tend to dig in a little, resulting in a loss of maximum lift. They also slide a lot on gravel, but I'm not sure how you'd get rid of that. They make a single that lifts more for changing tires, and I'd almost like to see that as a size option.
