I thought all RV's were almost self leveling?

I have the fiamma levelers which seem to stand up to our 5 ton but only cover 1 wheel/Axle

I guess I will just have to be careful not to hang the wheel while levelling on the other.

Not a great problem so far

I started by buying 2 sets to level the tag and front. Tried to use them and couldn't get the second one between the wheels so levelled front and left the back without ramps. I returned the second set.

If you are making them yourself I would have thought a series of wooden boxes would withstand the weight. Might be worth filling the space with expanding foam.

If pressed -I use the excuese --if you don't need to be roped into bed it's level enough. That didn't come out right!!! Embarassed

Hi
You would be amazed at the weight you could load onto a triangular wedge made out of 19mm marine ply.....
I don't think your coach would break them Jim Wink Wink
My twin axle van weighed some (old Buccaneer) and they lasted years, I just wish I had kept hold of them so I could use them now......
