Hopkins 09715 Hitch Level Review

Hopkins 09715 Hitch LevelSaw this model level on a used camper purchased by my brother-in-law and decided right then that this one was a must-have on our own camper. This replaced the standard (cheap!) stick-on levels that are available at any dealer or retail camping department. Those require you to check the front for side to side and then walk to the side to check front to back level. Those also tend to "move" slightly when the sun heats up the stick-on tape, so you might be level or you might just be close to level. The Hopkins mounts securely and permanently to the tongue, just ahead of the jack, and is in the perfect position to quickly check level. By turning the dial, the indicator arrow also shows how much you need to raise the low side. It's accurate, once you calibrate it with a carpenter's level on the floor, securely mounted and in a great position so you avoid any extra steps! The only problem encountered was that I failed to measure the diameter of the screws and went ahead and drilled the size hole (9/32) indicated on the package. Wrong!! I had to use larger screws. I should have used a 1/8 bit. But, the hex head screws I pulled from my stash were easier to install than the straight-slot screws provided.

BAL 28005 Deluxe Tire Chock Review

BAL 28005 Deluxe Tire ChockI received a gift certificate for Amazon for Christmas. This was one item that was on my wish list. I should have purchased them sooner. With two of them they really help stabilize the trailer. Along with the crank down stabilizers they make the trailer really solid. This is nice when someone gets up in the middle of the night and the trailer does not move.
You will not be disappointed. I have them on my Jayco 23B trailer.
