Levelling Blocks
These are excellent for levelling your trailer on set up. Stabiliser legs are not meant for correcting the trailer angle, they
are there to keep it stable when people are in it. Using levelling blocks will extend the service life of the stabiliser legs
and make set up much safer and faster. See below images.
