28050 Light Trailer Tire Leveler

My family has been using pop up campers since I was a child and I have finally purchase my own! I have a 2011 Jayco Jay 1007 that has a gross weight of about 2,950 lbs.I am a bit new to towing a vehicle. Moving forward is no problem for me now that I've taken a few trips and gotten used to making wide turns and using my mirrors! However, backing up is a whole new world that makes me a bit anxious and causes me to use an abnormal amount of curse words; I want to do as little of it as possible. After going on a few trips with the Jayco and having to go through the process of leveling by adding/subtracting pieces of wood under my low-side tire (back up, pull forward, repeat), I knew that I wanted a simpler solution. The BAL Tire Leveler is that solution! Here are my thoughts:Things I like:* Simplicity. I maneuver myself into the campsite, chock the high side, place the BAL, adjust the height, and I'm done!* Security. I was always uncomfortable putting a bunch of boards under my wheel but the BAL removes all of my worry; the camper feels VERY stable* Its serves as its own tire chock....I know that thing isn't going anywhere without my permission* Price. I've seen this product in Camping World and other stores for over $100Things to consider:* Height needs: most campground sites are going to be pretty level but I bring my Jayco to a lot of music festivals where you're setting up in a field or some other, ungraded piece of land where I've needed to do a lot of leveling work in the past. I'm a bit concerned that this might not raise the tire enough in some of these places and I'm not sure what I'll do if this ends up being the case. I may need to go back to adding some boards under the tire before placing the BAL...which I was hoping to avoid. We shall see. All other places, though, I have no concerns about whatsoever* Its a bit difficult to raise. The one that I have came with a ratchet to adjust the jack height. The wheel blocks it from making full rotations so I have to ratchet it and...well...when I have a lot of height to cover, it was slow going and I needed to take some breaks. That's not a big deal to me though as I might just be weak. I'll get over it but its something to consider if you don't feel like spending 10 minutes jacking this thing upAll in all:I love this product and I'll be recommending it to others! The peace of mind that I feel from the provided stability and set up simplicity makes up for any extra time that I may need to put in on VERY unleveled surfaces

This jack had rave reviews for good reason. It is simple to use and fits our 15" tires. Like the instructions tell you do NOT use a drill and it will only work for part of the work anyway. The ratcheted wrench that comes with it works great. It IS heavy and bulky, however, and with a popup tent trailer there is no extra storage room. So my engineer husband designed a super rack that he welded to the bumper of the trailer. When we fold our trailer down I will take more pictures to show the locking mechanism etc. We also liked the the fact that after lifting the trailer it acted as a chock. We had no worries that it would roll off.

My husband and I purchased this Light Trailer Tire Leveler for our Jayco J Series Popup Camper on the recommendation of our brother-in-law. Well, it is the one thing for our camping setup that we never realized we needed until the first time we used it. It helped getting the popup level and setup much easier. Mind you, the two of us go camping an average of 1-2 times a month from March through to October. We go to various PA State Parks. We have had sites that are anywhere from pretty level to down right almost impossibly not level. Still, through working as a team and doing what plays up to our individual strengths, we got our routine down to a science. When we added the Light Trailer Tire Leveler to the mix, it helped to shave our time almost by half. It really helps with tear down too. If you don't have one if these and you find that you need to level off your light camper or trailer, this is a huge time saver and it is amazingly easy to use. This really give you the ability to use the legs of your camper for what they were designed to do, stabilize.The only negative that I have for this product is that the ratchet wrench that came with the leveler was of poor quality. I stopped using it after the first time and replaced it with my own socket ratchet wrench. The supplied ratchet wrench would jump/skip out of the locked position (didn't matter if I was lifting or lowering the low tire of the camper) while using it. However, once I replaced it with my own socket ratchet wrench, lifting and lowering of the leveler went smoothly.
