If you camp on relatively level sites, then the BAL is not the way to go, IMO. Where it shines is when you have to raise one side 5" or more in order to level. You would need a lot of boards or "Lego" blocks to do that! It is a bit challenging, but I don't find it that hard. But again, if you are in a site that is very sloped or rugged, like National Forest campgrounds often are, then I believe the BAL is the best option for leveling.
The BAL can be challenging to get under the tire, especially if you have the 15" tires that come with the Hood River Edition. If you drive unto a 1" or 2" board first, then it's quite easy to slide the BAL under the tire.
I don't think you'll have much trouble selling yours. They're pretty popular.

| Originally posted by sailor323 I'd like to disagree with mountainrev. We found that the BAL leveler was easiest to use on sites that were already more or less close to level. It required a LOT of effort on sites that were not close to level. Add to that the difficulty of getting the thing in place and removing it and it is an exercise in frustration.
