Let’s be honest—backing in your camper is probably the most stress-inducing part of any RV trip. Whether you’re navigating tight campground corners or trying not to become that person who blocks the whole loop, parking a trailer takes finesse, patience, and honestly… good gear.
In our experience, these five items have completely changed the way we back into campsites. They’ve made the process faster, safer, and way less frustrating, especially when you’re tired, hungry, and just ready to sit by the fire.

🧱 1. Camco FasTen RV Leveling Blocks
🕒 00:13
Think of these like giant LEGO blocks for your tires. These Camco FasTen blocks stack easily, hold weight well, and make quick work of uneven campsites. We keep a dedicated bag of them ready to go—and they’ve saved us more than once from a crooked trailer and a bad night’s sleep.
Why we love them:
- Stackable and color-coded
- Easy to store and carry
- Compatible with chocks and other leveling gear
📐 2. Andersen Hitches Leveling Blocks
🕒 02:15
These curved-leveling blocks are awesome when you need a fine-tuned adjustment. Instead of stacking and guessing, you simply pull forward until your trailer is level—and you’re done. We like using them in combo with the Camco blocks for a two-tier leveling strategy.
Why we love them:
- Super smooth leveling
- Takes the guesswork out of the process
- Quick and quiet—great for late arrivals
🛑 3. Hoxwell Heavy-Duty Rubber Wheel Chocks
🕒 03:35
You can’t level or unhook safely without solid chocks. These Hoxwell chocks are rubber, heavy-duty, and grippy—no sliding around like with plastic chocks. When you’re mid-back-in, knowing these are in place gives you real peace of mind.
Why we love them:
- Grips pavement and gravel alike
- Extra weight = extra confidence
- Holds up in heat, cold, and everything in between
⛓️ 4. X-Chock Wheel Stabilizers
🕒 04:43
After leveling, stabilizing is next—and the X-Chock system does just that. These go between your tires to eliminate that little “wobble” you sometimes feel when walking around inside the camper. Bonus: they make your rig feel solid like a house.
Why we love them:
- Adds stability side-to-side
- Easy to crank in place
- Helps reduce bounce while walking inside the trailer
📱 5. LevelMatePRO RV Leveling System
🕒 06:17
This is your secret weapon. The LevelMatePRO uses Bluetooth and a smartphone app to show you in real time how level your trailer is—no guessing, no jumping out of the truck five times. It tells you exactly how many inches you’re off and in what direction.
Why we love it:
- Solo-camping friendly
- Huge time-saver
- Makes first-time setup way less stressful
🎯 Final Thoughts
The truth is, backing in doesn’t have to be a hassle—not when you’ve got the right gear. These five tools are part of our standard setup and make every arrival smoother, especially when you’ve got little ones running around, hungry passengers, or just a long drive behind you.
They take the stress out of setup, so you can get to the good part faster—grilling, relaxing, and soaking up that fresh campground air.
