Andersen vs Beech Lane Camper Leveler: Which Should You Buy?
They use the same mechanism and produce the same result. The decision comes down to what arrives in the box and what you are willing to pay for the name.

The verdict
For most first trailers, buy the Beech Lane kit. It works on the same principle, it normally arrives more completely equipped, and it usually costs less. Buy the Andersen if you want the original and the wider parts and support ecosystem around it, which is a real consideration if you keep the trailer a long time.
Both of these belong to the curved-leveler category covered in our leveling blocks roundup, and if you have not decided between stacking blocks and a curved ramp at all, start there instead.

Where Andersen wins
It is the original and the reference product, which matters in two practical ways. Every RV shop and every forum thread knows what it is, so when something needs replacing there is a part number and somebody who has done it. And the manufacturer has a broader product line around it — you can see the range on the Andersen Hitches site — which is worth something if you later want matching parts.
The build quality is what you would expect at the price. Nobody buys this twice because the first one failed.
Where Beech Lane wins
Price, and what is in the box. Most Beech Lane kits arrive with the grip mats included, which is not a minor detail: on a smooth concrete pad a curved leveler wants grip, and buying the pads separately closes the price gap in a hurry.
The other quiet advantage is that it is normally sold as a two-side kit by default. That removes a genuinely common first-purchase mistake, which is buying one leveler and discovering at the campsite that you needed a pair.
Which one for you
First trailer, first season: Beech Lane. You are buying the mechanism, not the badge, and the complete kit means nothing is missing on the first trip.
You camp mostly on concrete pads: either, but make sure you have the grip pads. Without them a curved leveler can slide on smooth, damp concrete, which is unnerving.
You camp mostly on grass: honestly, neither. Both concentrate load more than a wide block stack does. Buy interlocking blocks and lay them two wide.
You plan to keep the trailer for years: Andersen, for the parts ecosystem, if the price difference does not bother you.
What neither of them fixes
A curved leveler solves side-to-side leveling in one attempt. It does nothing about the trailer rocking once you are parked, and it does nothing about stabilizer jacks sinking. Both of those need different products, and we cover them in the wheel chock guide and stabilizers versus levelers.
1. Best for The curved-ramp idea for less
Beech Lane Camper Leveler Kit
The same drive-up-and-stop mechanism as the category leader, usually bundled more completely and usually for less.
- Specification
- Curved ramp plus chock
- Specification
- Sold as a two-side kit
- Specification
- Rubber grip pads in most kits
What it does well
- Works the same way as the better-known curved leveler and usually costs less
- Kits normally arrive with the chocks and grip mats, so nothing is missing on night one
- The grip pads genuinely help on smooth concrete pads
The real tradeoff
- Same soft-ground caveat as every curved leveler
- Kit contents vary between listings, so read what is actually in the box
How it measures up
These are judgments from published specifications and what we see at the lodge, not laboratory results. How we choose.
- Beginner fit
- Strong — Drive up, stop, chock. Nothing to learn.
- Stability once set
- Good — The grip pads are a real help on concrete.
- Speed to level
- Strong — Single attempt, same as the original.
- Value
- Strong — The reason most people end up here instead.

2. Best for Leveling in one attempt
Andersen Hitches Camper Leveler
The one that removes the trial and error: a curved ramp you drive up until level, then stop, with a chock that drops in behind.
- Specification
- Curved ramp plus matching chock
- Specification
- One unit per side
- Specification
- Continuous height adjustment within its range
What it does well
- You drive up until the bubble centers and stop. No stacking, no guessing, no second attempt
- Any height within its range, rather than the fixed steps a block stack gives you
- The matching chock drops in behind the tire, so one product covers two jobs
The real tradeoff
- Several times the price of a bag of blocks
- Wants a genuinely firm surface. The curved face concentrates load more than a wide block stack does
- Bulky to store for what it is
How it measures up
These are judgments from published specifications and what we see at the lodge, not laboratory results. How we choose.
- Beginner fit
- Strong — The clearest cause and effect in the category.
- Stability once set
- Good — Fine on firm ground, less happy on soft.
- Speed to level
- Strong — One pull-up. This is what you are paying for.
- Value
- Adequate — Expensive per unit of plastic, cheap per hour of frustration.

Questions people actually ask
Do curved levelers work on any travel trailer?
They work on any trailer within their weight rating, which covers essentially all travel trailers. Check the rating against your loaded trailer weight if you have a large fifth wheel.
Do I need one or two curved levelers?
Two, one for each wheel on the low side, if you have a tandem axle. Kits are normally sold as a pair for exactly this reason.
Can I stack a curved leveler on a block for more height?
Manufacturers generally advise against stacking them on other products, because the curved face relies on sitting flat on the ground. If you need more height than the ramp gives you, use stacking blocks instead.
Why does my curved leveler slide on concrete?
Smooth concrete, especially when damp, gives the base nothing to grip. That is what the rubber grip mats are for, and it is the main reason to buy a kit that includes them.
Are they worth the extra money over stacking blocks?
If you arrive at new sites often or after dark, yes: you level in one attempt instead of three. If you return to the same familiar site and already know what it needs, blocks are perfectly good and much cheaper.
