Looking for ideas for trailer leveling

Apr 13, 2011 5 Replies

Hi all



I have an older pop-up trailer on a recreational property. The trailer is not going anywhere, we use it for guest acconodations when folks visit. I have decided to raise it slightly, level it well, remove the wheels and use them elsewhere.



The trailer has a pretty strong steel tubular frame around the perimiter with a couple of cross members. The whole trailer is about



900 lbs, not a big one. My idea as a support and leveling method for the trailer would be:


- a short 4X4 beam across the underside of each corner.



- an adjustable deck support of some kind (under the beam) to allow periodic leveling.



I am searching now for the adjustable deck support. This would be some sort of threaded column that I could extend up to 2-3". I have seen adjustable steel columns and such, but they are very spendy and overkill for this project. I was sure I had seen devices as simple as adjustable height brackets sitting in concrete blocks, but now they don't come up in my seacches. Any ideas on what/where would do the trick?



Tnx for any ideas


form and pour a pad larger than what you need, for either future expansion, or a patio sitting area.

Some C-4 should do a decent job of leveling a trailer.

I found it yesterday:
