I used this wheel level system from Andersen last weekend. To easy! No more boards. Last month we were camping next to a guy who had a set of these installed. He explained how they worked and seeing them used on his 5th wheel sold me. I did have to trim an inch off of one so it would fit between the the duel wheels. The kit comes with instructions to trim it correctly.
I've been using them for about three years and I agree, they make it much easier than the Lego blocks or just some 2x12s. I recently had to buy another one because I went from a tandem axle to a triple axle trailer. Good stuff for sure.
I have the Andersen Levelers also. My only complaint about them is that they aren't wide enough. Mine tend to sink into the ground. To prevent sinking, I'll sometimes put a board under the tires first.
I asked Andersen if they would produce a wider one and they said no.

And to go with these, I have a large bubble on my pin box that I can see in my rear view! Throw the leveling chocks down, pull forward until level, Done!
I just watched a video on them and they look like they would make leveling easy. But definitely would need to carry boards or something for soft ground. I never saw them before but look interesting.
Only thing that makes leveling easier is the push of a button on the Big Foot auto levelers.
We used the Andersen levelers our first couple of years full-timing. They work really well... but we broke three of them (we're well within their rated capacity). Although Andersen replaced them free of charge, it was rather inconvenient coordinating getting them to us. Then we discovered the Beech Lane levelers. They work just like the Andersens but are made of a much stronger material. We've not had a single problem with them.
I bought a similar design several years ago and they just sunk in the ground, had to dig them out. The bottom isn't solid and it just sinks in anything but hard ground.

I'm still an Anersen fan (used an Andersen Ultimate hitch for about 18 months and loved it), but found something better than their levelers.
On a related note, we use our levelers in conjunction with one of these: LevelMatePRO
I can level and set up by myself in just a few minutes with this combo.

Interesting, I will post up if I have issues. I like the grip pad for the Beech Lane Level kit

I have the LevelMatePro too, once you have set it up the first time, it's so easy, at the moment I have tapered ramps that I reverse/drive onto while watching the level on my phone, someone in the UK has just brought to market an inflatable bag that you drive on to & inflate as necessary to raise the trailer. The reviews are good, including a couple of full timers that say they haven't lost pressure in 6 months. I've been invited to try them out by the manufacturer, so I'll see for myself, my trailer is much heavier than most in the UK.
