Product Review: Beech Lane Camper Levelers

[@Doug4E]

We have been using these levelers on our 5th wheel for 4 years. I added a little item to mine. In the large curved part I drilled a parachute cord size hole in the center of the largest recess. I put a 2 ft length of cord through the hole with a knot on each end. This allows the cord to be pulled out on either side. Then I drilled a similar hole in both sides of the chock part. The cord is used when we are removing the levelers. The person pulling out the chock can pull the cord and not need to get your fingers close to the tire. then when I reverse the cords on the leveler part are pulled out as well. I haven't tried this yet, but, it might be possible to place a stake and tie the chocks to the stake with a bungee cord so that pressure is removed, the chock will pull out and then reverse and a cord could pull out the leveler part. This would be useful on a dual axle trailer by a single person.

Thank you for the great modification idea...I have pinned this comment for others to easily see.

We bought a set and used them on our last camp trip. They worked awesomely. We are very glad we got them. It sure beats blocking up the camper with 4x4 blocks!

[@AirstreamNerds]

Very cool! Thanks for the comment!

[@jacksonblum2253]

Thanks for the demo! You have convinced me that these are the levelers to buy for my Leisure Travel Free Spirit van.

[@AirstreamNerds]

They work great

[@shawngaske1229]

Thanks for this. Just got these for my camper but threw away the instructions by mistake. This was a huge help.

[@AirstreamNerds]

You are welcome...thanks for the comment!

[@douglastoney2843]

We just cracked one of our Andersons in half after using it for 2 years. We have a 10,000 pound Class B.

[@curlyfries7694]

Thanks for the thorough explanation and demo. We're researching purchase for our new 5th wheel!

[@AirstreamNerds]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davidjohoson8397]

I have a set of these and I always use a dead blow to tighten in the chalk as well.. the only difference is when I go to the remove the chalk I pull my trailer up a couple of inches and set the emergency brake this will releases all the pressure on the chalk and you can easily remove them without beating on them with a dead blow and then I will back down the ramp to release them.. ✌️

[@AirstreamNerds]

Good tips..thanks

[@BrewCityRider]

Would have liked to see what they look like at the max 4" of lift position. Yeah, gonna grab these instead of the Anderson's.

[@AirstreamNerds]

They work just fine at full height. I have even driven off of them with no issues

[@colejohnson1960]

Excellent video. I think you may have found yourself another career. Video was done well. Thanks for the information.

[@AirstreamNerds]

Thank you very much for the compliment!

[@HarlyGuy13]

Just ordered a set. Thanks for a very good video.

[@Chimp_6]

How do these work for dirt and especially gravel campsites?

[@AirstreamNerds]

they work the same - I use the rubber matt to keep them from slipping

[@patricksmith3668]

Another benefit of this style is WHEN you get flat tire, use this in the now flat tire and generally it will raise the flat tire enough to get it off.

[@AirstreamNerds]

They would work great for that. I use the Trailer Aid kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKGppGCMiM-dbqc

[@cameroncosgrove8489]

Why only on 1 side? Does that lift just that side, making your trailer unlevel side to side? I'm new and have not been out yet, so can you please explain that? Thanks

[@AirstreamNerds]

Cameron Cosgrove the idea is that when you pull into a campground most of the time the parking space for your camper will not be level...one side of your camper will need to be raised to make it so. You put these on the side that needs to be raised and off you go...hope this helps and thanks for the question

[@Draflowt]

Great demo & review video. I'm guessing the guy that owns the original red product (defaced Moab) is at least making a licensing fee for these. I admit that I have not investigated it, but I would think they are way to similar to get around a patent. Again well done video. Thanks

[@AirstreamNerds]

Thanks for the comment and for watching!

[@popeyeandy959]

If you cut one to fit because the tires are too close together, does it cause the tire with the trimmed leveler to raise that tire higher and would that create any issue? Thinking no, but never used this style leveler. Also if the chock portion was tapped into place, you could pull forward a tad to release the pressure and the second person could pull them out. I would attach a short piece of line to them for safety though.

[@AirstreamNerds]

It does not make any difference unless you pull up on the non-trimmed one only as far as the trimmed off piece on the other one.

[@popeyeandy959]

@@AirstreamNerds Thanks

[@hikingrules1673]

My tires sized on the dual axle where the Beech Lane leveler is too long to fit between the two tires and if I cut the inside leveler shorter and place both underneath the two tires would that make the rear tire on the shorter leveler instantly go higher with the rear tire than the uncut one on the front tire?

[@AirstreamNerds]

I do not think that it would make that much of a difference in the long run but you could just cut both the same if there is a concern. Thanks for the comment.

[@hikingrules1673]

@@AirstreamNerds Thanks for the quick reply and I agree that cutting both to the same length would make the most sense to maintain the same height as I'm pulling forward, I'm also assuming trying to bevel the cut edges wouldn't be necessary either...

[@jeffgarner4114]

@@hikingrules1673 you could try to bevel them but unless you are cutting a lot off I think you are OK

[@hikingrules1673]

@@jeffgarner4114 Thanks, I'm hoping for only having to trim off 1 to 2 inches at the most, based on the close setting of the axles and the tire size there is not a lot of room between the set of tires...

[@michaelschroeder9316]

I was wondering before I watched this video, if you put no skid adhesive tape the the bottom 1/2 of each, if that would prevent if from slipping out if you were to have to put on 2x6 for additional height? Anyone do that?

[@AirstreamNerds]

That is a great idea...thanks for posting it

[@SH-xq4dq]

How much are they and can I source in the U.K. for a twin axel caravan ?

[@AirstreamNerds]

Have you checked on Amazon? Otherwise I am unsure in the UK where you would get them. You can always go to the manufacturers website to contact them. Thanks for the questions.

[@UncleChuckApproved]

Very well explained, thanks for the video.

[@SH-xq4dq]

Do these beach lane things give enough height ? Eg compared to likes of Milenco triple or Quattro ramps ?

[@AirstreamNerds]

They lift 4 inches but I know that they are working on some that lift more. I am not familiar with the other brands you mention.

[@jtosti66]

Fantastic video, thank you.

[@AirstreamNerds]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnhunter287]

I have those and they work great

[@AirstreamNerds]

I am a big fan too!

[@HartponderJr]

I had the Andersons and the rear split in two the first time. I have a AS 2017 FC 25a, would I have to trim to fit the tire space? It seems you did not on your AS. Thanks!

[@AirstreamNerds]

I have the stock rims on our 2015, although we have changed the tires we did not change the size. We did not have to trim the levelers for either brand. Thanks for watching and for the question!

[@nowellgrossman8212]

Seems like the beech lanes are not available. Amazon is pushing Homeon Wheels. Any other options?

[@AirstreamNerds]

The Andersen Levelers are good too...amzn.to/30yIesU

[@nowellgrossman8212]

Thanks Jeff. Just found your videos. Watched them all. Great work.

[@davva360]

The thing that concerns me with these is if i would have to cut one of them. I think they are a great idea though. Certainly looks like it would be more accurate than the lego blocks i use. Going to give it a couple of goes with my new level mate pro and blocks. If i feel like these would improve the process I will buy them.

[@AirstreamNerds]

They are made to be cut and this style of leveler work great with the level mate pro...especially if you only need to raise 4 inches or less.

[@nedmorris9794]

Do these work w a class C w dualie rear end?

[@AirstreamNerds]

I have no clue but they do not cost that much that you could not try and see

[@lucasjohnson1467]

If you cut one, do you cut them both?

[@AirstreamNerds]

You don't have to but you can

[@maxinvasionleet]

Very informative. Thank you

[@kevinlee8243]

Anybody been able to find there from an online seller? Amazon had them about a month ago, but now they are no longer available. I called my local RV shops and they are out of them too.

[@AirstreamNerds]

Have you contacted Beech Lane directly?

[@kevinlee8243]

@@AirstreamNerds Yes, they responded. Said they would be available on Amazon again in about a week.

[@kevinlee8243]

@@AirstreamNerds Yes, they are finally available on Amazon, so I ordered one a couple of days ago. Looking forward to receiving them. Thanks!

[@matthew2000tx]

I’m new to RVing and didn’t know the Anderson history but I remember the vandalism in Utah so I will not support them

[@AirstreamNerds]

These Beech Lane levelers are pretty awesome!

[@knottybone]

Maybe a stupid ? here, but ......why do they have holes in them at all? Can't they just be a solid piece?

[@AirstreamNerds]

I would imagine that they could make them solid but that would make them heavier.

[@davem7722]

Bullshit, it's Andersen's design, support the American made company. Not like they are that much more expensive then these knockoffs

[@JM-nh8yp]

If you know how to read a level you can easily know exactly how many wood blocks to put under your tires before you back onto them. Then you don't need to buy these plastic things. And you don't have to wonder how far to pull onto the ramps

[@AirstreamNerds]

A R...but if you have a Level Mate in your trailer you can watch the level on your phone while you pull onto the ramps until you are level...but everybody has a system that works for them. Thank you for your comment!

[@CalebCissna]

I’m not up to speed. Why are folks boycotting Andersen Levelers?

[@Acheron2010]

I'm not boycotting, but my Anderson's keep getting crushed by my Airstream 26.

[@AirstreamNerds]

Caleb Cissna as I said in the video the owner defaced some landmarks near Moab. I think it was either writing or carving initials on an arch.

[@AirstreamNerds]

William Kelly these may work better since they have more support built into their design.

[@OmahaWayne]

@@AirstreamNerds So to show your distaste for a mistake a person made and apologized for you find it far better to support a Chinese company that steals intellectual property, copies it, builds it with slave labor and sends it here in containers ships to sell them for 20 bucks less. Yet you claim to be on the moral high ground. You sir are far more a despicable person then he is.

[@AirstreamNerds]

@@OmahaWayne I am so sorry missed this comment when you posted it. I never said that I was boycotting Andersen at all. If you watched the video or read the information about the video you would see that I am offering this review as an alternative for those that HAVE boycotted. FWIW Beech Lane is also a US company based out of North Carolina. So next time you decide to flex your Internet muscles at least show up with some intelligence.
