We have not bought the Andersen leveller yet but now wonder if their jack unit would be better as it has more than 4" of lift. Maybe both then everything covered and tongue pad too. Any one else tried/thought that?

I think it all depends on how much of a problem leveling is to you. I intended to get an Anderson when I first got our pod. Seven years later I still don't have one. Most places where we camp I can easily get the trailer level side to side, often without even using the Legos. YMMV

As was suggested the Anderson Leveler is awesome. No tools required. Comes with its own chock. Its range id about 5" or so if you need more put down a short board.

Nope.....the corner jacks are for stability only. The leveling everyone is talking about here is side to side and front to back after you've arrived at the campsite. The levelors they are talking about are for the wheels - side to side. If you google them you'll see how they work. Front to back is the crank at the front......then once level you put the corner jacks down.

ParPod is correct. Stability only. I usually have to adjust my jack after a day or two if I notice the RV rocking.

Since the question of stabilizers vs leveling jacks comes up every so ofter. I emailed Forest River and asked simply if the corner jacks were for leveling or stability. Below is the response.

Wow. The dealer I bought my pod from said not to level with them unless I wanted to replace them. Thanks for that info.
