I'm guessing your talking about leveling for camping. We took 2x4's and 2x12's and cut them to fit the width and length of our campers wheels. We carry four of each size with us at all times. Buy the stick on levelers for your camper and place them where you can see them easily. Just back up or pull onto the boards using the levelers as your guide. \nHappy Camping!!!

Consider adding a rear boarding step.  Get one that is spring loaded so that it moves up out of the way when you are running and doesn't take away any power.  This is really the best option.  Boarding in deep water otherwise is neither fun nor does it look very graceful.

1. Obtain four clean 55-gallon barrels, 20 feet of rope, several boards, 40 pounds of beef jerky\n\n2. Fill barrels 1/3d full with fresh water.\n\n3. Lash boards to barrels to make raft, saving one wide board\n\n4. Take assembly to ocean\n\n5. Place raft in water\n\n6. Use wide board as paddle and go out a few miles\n\n7. Wait for current to carry you to America

You will need two people to do this, a podman and a stickman.\n\nThe podman will work the tripod & transit. The stickman will work the grade stick (the 16' one).\n\n1. Setup the transit & tripod. Choose a spot where you can see, with the pod, all locations that you will have to mark grade with. The tripod should be located in a hard surface (i.e. asphalt or concrete) location to minimize movement.\n\nSetup the tripod & mount the pod. Make sure that the pod is level using the bubble located on the pod. This is very important. Sight all locations that you will have to mark grade, this is also important as you will not want to move the tripod if possible.\n\n2. Get a base reading of the finish floor of your building. To make this easy, your finish floor (FF) of the building is always 100'-0". Always. Have your stickman go to the finish floor location, and hold his stick. It must be vertical in all respects. Sight the stick through the pod. This will tell you your relative pod elevation (which is important to determine all other grade). For instance, if the stick is measuring 4.5' or 4'6" (depending on which kind of stick you got, an engineering or English measurement), you now know that the pod elevation is 104'-6" (FF elev of 100'-0" plus 4'6").  \n\nA word of warning - your pod elevation will always change everytime you move it. So to take additional shots, you must always calculate your pod elevation after you move the pod.\n\n3. Shoot the locations of your grade that you wish to alter. For instance, if you want to raise all of your grade to 100'-0" (FF elevation), and you shoot an elevation of 8.3' on the stick, you will need to raise your grade by\n\nMath: Pod elevation: 104.5'\nStick Shot: 8.3'\nDifference: 104.5 - 8.3 = 96.2' elevation\nRaise grade by: 100.0'-96.2' = 3.8'\n\nDrive a wood survey stake & record the elevation that you shot and your cut / fill amount in feet. This will help you remember where you took the shots & how much fill you need to place.\n\nFinally, as a construction professional, it is a very bad idea to raise outside grade to the same level as your finish floor. In the case of heavy rains / floods, there is nothing to keep the water from coming into your structure! A much better way is to slope the grade away at a minimum of 2% (or a 1/4" per foot) away from the structure, with a maximum of 5% slope (or 3/4" per foot) due to ADA.

Good luck finding that.  you will have better luck finding a pickup truck with a camper on the back.  You can rent an RV for a thousand bucks however.

What ever you can get.   It really has no re-sale or insurance value.\n\nCheck a local camper sales shop.

I ride a Gravity.  Independent trucks are the way to go. I'm sure they have their own website you can checkout.

the safest and "MY" preferred way, using a smaller boat is to tether it along side the boat and bring it dock side that way. If you have a bit larger boat than I use," a 17 footer" you can winch it in, third choice "For Me" is using a small caliber hand gun brain shoot it, and after it stops fighting bring it on board! Good Luck & use caution, even a small one can inflect serious damage to you and your boat!

kayakweekly.com has a few ideas\n\ngood luck

Get off the computer and get outside and use good old trial and error.  Build a ramp of dirt--it may be easier to make a pile of rocks (or whatever else you have in your area) and cover it with dirt.  Jump your bike off it and then adjust it as needed.  Buy a mountain bike video (The Collective, Kranked series, etc) and check out how they build theirs.  They will be bigger and the lips will be more vertical, but you can scale it down.  Also check out photos on online forums (MTBR, NSMB, ridemonkey, busted spoke, etc).  People post their dirt jumps all the time.\n\nIf you know of any BMX jump tracks, check those out.  But realize that a MTB wheelbase is longer, so the curvature of the ramp/lip needs to be a larger diameter.\n\nIf youre only going for 3' of air, you can probably land flat or build your jump so that you land on a down-sloped transition.  When you progress bigger than that, you will probably build your own transition exactly where you need it, and at the angle you need.\n\nCheck out Bellingham, WAs dirt jump park--my buddy helped develop and build it.

ok - safety advice aside - have exit strategies - where and when you may want to pull out.  have support people around to help give advice on the route.  if you are doing a strict downhill thing - start at the bottom and increase your start point as you get used to the speed and turns.  (make sure there are no cars!)  the faster you go, the more tipsy you become so make sure the condition of the surface is suitable.  other than that if it isn't just speeed you are after, the same principles apply as they do for surfing or skiiing - zig zags slow you down etc.  HAVE FUN

Center your balance, place your feet over the trucks--board slide.\n\nplace foot on tail, and front foot behind front truck--grind

someone with a small tractor and boxblade can level your ground.  i have both, and would do it for you in exchange for some beer, or access to some private hunting land.
