I know this has been discussed before but I am unable to find the thread. Does the BAL Leveler fit the tires on a Hood River edition? I have a 2016 182g and purchased the leveler a couple years ago. Tried it on a grass parking area and it did not fit. I was later introduced to this fine forum and someone said you should park on a piece of plywood (or something similar) to help it fit. I was thinking of purchasing another one this year-my recollection is the fit was really tight as the tires on the Hood River are I believe 15.5.

Thank you in advance for any thoughts on this.

Use a short piece of 2x6. 10 inches long or so, to get the tire up a bit, then slide the BAL under. Works fine.The 2x6 is also handy, even with out a HRE, to carry, in case your BAL sinks a bit during a 2 week stay, and you need to "stop" the pod going to far down, so you can slide the BAL out.. at 6am.. in the rain.. because it's time to go home..
