Camco 44573 Tri-Leveler RV Leveling Block, Yellow

Getting your rig level at the campsite makes everything work better, and the Camco Tri-Leveler is the simple, drive-on way to do it. It's a ramp-style leveling block that raises one tire up to 3-7/8 inches so you can dial in a level parked position. Bright yellow, lightweight, and rated to hold 4000 pounds, it's the kind of gear you toss in a storage bay and reach for at every stop.

Here's why level matters, and it's not just about your coffee cup sliding off the table. If your RV runs an absorption refrigerator, it needs to sit reasonably level to circulate its coolant and cool properly. Park it on a slope for a few hours and you can lose cooling performance or, over time, damage the cooling unit. Your holding tanks drain more completely when the rig sits level, and your sensors read more accurately. Doors stop swinging on their own. You sleep better without rolling toward one wall all night. Camco built the Tri-Leveler to fix all of that in about two minutes.

Using it is straightforward. First, figure out which side is low. A small bubble level on the floor or the countertop tells you fast. Set the Tri-Leveler on the ground in front of or behind the low-side tire, then have someone spot you as you slowly drive up the ramp. The ramp is graduated, so you stop at whatever height brings you level, up to that full 3-7/8 inches. Level side-to-side first, then work on front-to-back with your tongue jack or landing gear. Once you're set, chock your wheels and you're done.

The non-slip surface is a detail you'll appreciate. The top of the ramp is textured so your tire grips as it climbs instead of spitting the block out behind you, and it helps the leveler stay put on grass, gravel, or a paved pad. The durable resin construction shrugs off the weather and won't rust or rot like wood scraps or a stack of loose lumber. And because it's molded plastic, it stays light enough to carry one-handed.

This one is sold as a single leveler, so think about how many tires you need to lift. A lot of folks running a single-axle trailer keep two on hand, one for each side, so they're ready no matter which way the site slopes. Bigger fifth wheels and motorhomes on tandem axles often want a set for each low-side tire. Each Tri-Leveler carries its own 4000-pound capacity, which covers the axle loads on the vast majority of travel trailers, fifth wheels, truck campers, and motorhomes. If you're not sure, check the loaded weight on any single tire against that number before you drive up.

It's worth being clear about what a leveling ramp is and isn't. It raises a tire to level your rig. It's not a wheel chock. After you've leveled and set your stabilizers, you still need to chock your wheels to keep the RV from rolling. Think of the Tri-Leveler as step one and your chocks as step two. They work together.

Storage is easy. The Tri-Leveler is compact and light, so it slides into a pass-through bay, a bucket, or a milk crate with the rest of your setup gear. No sharp edges, nothing to snag your hoses. Rinse the mud off when you break camp and it's ready for the next stop.

If you've been stacking wood blocks or fighting with a bag of interlocking squares, a ramp-style leveler is a nice upgrade. You drive up once and you're level, no guessing how many layers to stack. For first-time owners it takes the mystery out of setting up on an uneven site, and for seasoned full-timers it's just faster. The yellow color makes it easy to spot on the ground so you don't drive off and leave it behind, which happens more than anyone likes to admit.

Backed by Camco's long track record in RV gear, the Tri-Leveler is honest, no-nonsense equipment that does one job well.
