ABSTRACT:
A leveling system for leveling a recreational vehicle. A tire engaging, inflatable container can be utilized to provide a support surface under a tire of the vehicle. Then, the tire engaging, inflatable container can be at least partially inflated to establish the vehicle in a level position. The tire engaging, inflatable container can present a low profile configuration that allows a tire to be rolled on easily. In this manner, the tire engaging inflatable container is not pushed out of position by the tire. Through the use of a flexible, yet non-stretchable or non-elastic material, the tire engaging, inflatable container limits any bounciness which might normally be encountered when the vehicle is in a level position. A large surface area on the tire engaging, inflatable container permits a tire to be easily positioned on the surface without being concerned about exact positioning. Similarly, a large surface area permits more than one tire to be used to establish the vehicle in a level position. Finally, a light reflection system can be used to prevent heat gain which might result in an unwanted change in the amount of inflation of the system.
