I went with the Anderson simply because they are red. I used to work around aircraft and the chocks always have high contrast colors to prevent accidents. Someone also mentioned they are easier to see so they don’t get left behind.
I’m rather new to RVing for 1 year now. I have been using a brand called Carmtek! They are black & orange come with a rubber mat also a carrying bag. I choose these because of a bright color to help me as a reminder so I don’t leave them behind. I have learned a lot from people like you that share your knowledge, tips and tricks while RVing. Thank you for sharing. 😊
I have the Anderson. But that’s what the dealer had where I bought my RV. Mine came with square blocks to put under the jacks and a nylon bag to carry them. Love their ease of use.
Great content! I also prefer the Beechlane levelers as well but I bought a different model. The set I bought actually had two pieces for each ramp. A 3" and a 1" piece. If you need less than 3" of leveling, don't use the 1" part and the leveling is more precise. Either way, it's a great product.
I went with the Revor brand which is similar to the Beechlane, it includes everything as Beechlane plus a carry bag to store everything and the price was $29.99 on the place named after a river in South America.
We have been using the beach lane ones for 4 years, used many times as we have been to 150 campgrounds in 4 years. Save money and get the beach lane ones, so far ours have worked perfectly even in some really challenging situations. I never use the rubber Matts i carried them around for two years but never used then, now in storage. Red color is better, less likely to leave them behind at the campsite. Larry
I went with anderson. Several broke when used on a gravel pads. Anderson did replace them for shipping costs. I now use carpet under the andersons which helps.
The lego block style levelers? Nope - absolutely keep them - there's been times when I've used the lego blocks AND these ramp levelers. The lego blocks are first and foremost if someone is only going to have one. These ramp levelers are a uni-tasker for sure - but they work SO well that its worth the weight and space for them.
I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, I'm very new to this and I'm interested in getting these levelers/choks, but I'd like to know, could these also act as tire cushions so my tires don't get flat spots? Thank you for the video! 😊

You can definitely use it with single axle trailers! If the rig is light enough there are also single axle leveling options that lift the low side manually after parking. such as the BAL single axle trailer level: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yb-EU-Mo_7A.html
I strongly dislike leveling an RV. You might get the right height on these roly-poly jackstands on a small trailer but in an RV when you get the back perfect and you can’t get the front perfect it drives me batty. Could you do a video on how you would level an RVversus a trailer too easy
When you say RV vs trailer are you meaning a motorhome? I've personally never leveled a motorhome but it would seem that if you're trying to level the front AND the back that you're making it too complicated - really should just level one end TO the other and only mess with one side (left/right) and one end (front/back) - what am I missing with this question?
I've not personally used them on the beach - but I have used them in sandy soil locations and haven't had any issues. I have also used them on top of the lego block or pieces of wood to make an even bigger footprint which might be helpful in a sandy situation. I doubt any manufacturer will suggest that and I'm also not suggesting you do that, but rather sharing what I've done in the past - definitely utilizing the rubber mats inbetween so its not plastic on plastic and therefore increased the friction and lowers the potential of slipping while getting up on the ramps.
Do you know where the 4” is achieved on the Anderson’s? I feel like I’m going to roll completely over them to get the middle of my tire centered over that last and highest circle opening on the leveler. I can’t find this answer anywhere online.
The 4” is the size of the tallest part of the wedge- so yes, it would need to be just about centered under the middle of your tire. I completely get the feeling and Ive even rolled over them before trying to get to the max. Something we’ve also done is use the ramps on top of leveling blocks - using the rubber grip mat, to gain more than 4” of rise. There is a clip in the video showing that. Definitely not advisable by either manufacturer, but we’ve done it successfully more than once. Definitely don’t do it without the rubber grip mats. If you don’t have those you can find some on Amazon
Yes, only a handful of times - you can see one instance in the video where we laid down the orange interlocking blocks in a row and the laid the rubber beech lane mats on top of those then used the ramp levelers.
Whoa - that is QUITE the price jump - my assumption would be that Beech Lane doesn't have the systems setup right now to deal with international shipping - so they'll do it for you, but pay for the manual process as well. You'll be happy with the Andersens - I'd HIGHLY recommend getting rubber mats though as they tend to slip more in my experience - just helped a friend level last week and the Andersen's slipped as the wheel was ramping up.
