Does the BAL leveler work or is needed on TMs?

The BAL will work on the 15" wheels, but really only if you pull up onto a block, like a lynx leveler, first. Then the BAL will easily slide under and be usable.

I had one, I did this for a long time. Then, I stopped, because the BAL screw started skipping and stripping, and it was a hassle. I moved back to a 3-step leveler, put a level gauge on the front of the TM, and just back up the steps until I'm close. Finish it with the corner jacks. Much faster and easier than the BAL, for my purposes. But I used the BAL for 2 years before, so there's nothing wrong with it.

I have heard the screw does strip out if using a power tool to do it. I figure I have it , might as well use it, save a little cash along the way for other TM fun things. Lol

Yep. I used a power tool -- too much work doing it manually, took too long for me.

We like the Lago type blocks, with an integrated chock. We set them up when pull into ther cs by reading the level stuck on the camper. Set up the blocks with a chock to stop us when positioned. Backup or pull forward and we are done.

There are so many uses for the blocks. Use for leveling the table, under the stabilizers when they will not reach the ground, build a step when the first step is to far off the ground, use under a flat tire to reduce how much you have to jack, etc...

I use the BAL each time I camp. You just have to put one leveler block under the low tire to accommodate the 15" tires. It's a great wheel chock and allows a perfect level
