Hey guys. Curious as to what you are all doing to level your truck at camp. Are you just using standard old blocks under the tires to try to level things out or are any of you figured out a slicker way to get the truck level at camp?

I got a set of the 'Lego' type blocks at Camping World.

I too got those "lego" block kind.  They are cheap and work pretty well.  The only time I've had trouble is when I'm on something that's not even close to being level; yes Yellowstone, I mean you! :-).

I used to use found rocks, then for a few years I used ramp-cut lumber, but for the past few years I've used Lynx (brand) levelers.  Sturdy, lightweight, clean -- Love 'em.

I use levelers from Andersen Mfg.

They are a little on the expensive side.  There is a choke to slid in when you are level and to keep the truck from rolling off.  They have a video you can watch.  John

I have a one of those Andersen levelers and haven't much luck with it, but that's probably just me.

I just got back from a trip where coarse gravel seemed to be most places I leveled. I used the Lego type of plastic stackable "cribbing" under the tires to level the TC. The coarse sharp gravel under the Lego style blocks broke, chipped, and/or distorted the plastic on the underneath side from the plastic Lego block edges resting on the sharp gravel.
It might be good to take some boards or small pieces of plywood base to be resting on the gravel with the Lego cribbing resting on the wood?
It was mentioned that the plastic cribbing is cheap. It is also lite weight. Both of which are good, but I don't see it as cheap enough to be disposable....

Edit/explanation: Cribbing, as used above, is short for "cribbing blocks".
There are other meanings to the word "cribbing"......

I try and make sure I always use the same block(s) on the bottom in gravel. I think the set I got has 10 blocks, but I usually only need 2 or 3.

Like most, I used rocks, wood and whatever else I could find to level my rig.  I spoiled myself and bought these:  Lynx levelers, RV Leveling Kit at WalMart. Pack of 10 for ~30 bucks.  They do the job, strong, lite and they stack nicely.
