With blocks ...These are so much better than blocks. With blocks it is continual trial and error - set a block, drive on, still not level, add more blocks - this can go on and on and you will run out of blocks. With the Andersen's you watch your levels inside the van - one front to back and one side to side - mounted inside permanently - see my article. Then you see which direction you need to level and set these ramps under the appropriate tires and just drive up or back up onto the ramps. Watch the level and see when it is in the middle and stop driving. I watched this video you linked. He goes to extremes - there are some angles that you can just not level to - you can raise the tire four inches with these ramps. Beyond that you go and ask for another campsite that is more level. He is concerned about driving off the end. I have driven off the end - it is not terrible but I will back off so that is not necessary. I also have Meryl out watching to tell me when I have gone to the extent of the ramp and she tells me to stop. I have another article about the Andersen levelers - using them at a campground - and I have several tips there to follow.

Did you see the video on the Fit RV (https://youtu.be/CqD-hBXELx8)? I am interested in people's experiences before purchasing them as they are $$<br /><br />Thank you!!<br />DonnaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525013568561240325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801217063323814316.post-1236317700479872862016-09-24T17:35:32.197-04:002016-09-24T17:35:32.197-04:00You ask an excellent question and one that we have...You ask an excellent question and one that we have been wondering about ourselves. I had this discussion this morning with Meryl even before we got this comment. So far it has been our experience when we have been off level that by raising or lower both fronts or backs OR both tires on one side or the other, that this has brought us into level. I will be looking into the idea of what happens if one were off both side to side and front to back, if diagonal tires, or one tire were raised if this would bring the whole thing into level - not sure really and what the alternatives are. The only way that i could see raising two tires different heights with these leveling ramps would be to position one further front of the tire so that when you roll up on the ramps, one tire will be on a higher spot on the ramp than the other. I have never tried this and I am not sure if it will even work.
