Ramp
Tech > Ramp
When we had a pop-up trailer, we used a BAL light trailer tire leveler with great success. When we moved to a travel trailer we needed a new solution. For a time, we used interlocking plastic leveling blocks, and I (copying a camping friend) even made a hinged platform for them:
That worked pretty well, but I missed the accuracy of the BAL leveler. I was even considering the use of a pair of them, when another camping friend showed me the ramp he had built for his travel trailer. I decided to try his approach, which required nothing more than eight feet of of 2" x 8" lumber, some paint, and some time:
We're very happy with the results - it's easy to use and once again we can level within a fraction of an inch. The plans are on my Flickr page... feel free to use them.
