1,700#'s seems awfully light.  There are pups that weigh more than that and yet technically they aren't small enough for some pups, they are meant for a 13-15 inch tire (I use it with my 10inch tires with a block of wood).  Or is this one of those scenarios with a complicated math equation that basically means that since you aren't lifting the entire trailer on the BAL Leveler, only 1 tire of the axle, it can be used on a 3,400# trailer. 

Our Palomino M-6147 weighes 3,400 lbs and I used our BAL Leveler for the first time on the weekend. It lifted it no prob!

I emailed the company... they said it does not have an "actual" upper wt. limit... but said it should work up to about 3,500 lbs. It is called a Lite trailer leveler. So that means if you have two wheels each side roughly supports 1,750 lbs.

If I have the numbers right, the Bal Leveler should work comfortably on a camper that weights a maximum of 3,900 lbs.
3,900 lbs camper has an average 390 tongue weight (10%).  split the remaining 3,510 lbs by 2 tires leaves the wheel for the leveler at 1,755 lbs.

I expected that it would work well on most normal popup but not the highwalls, I was wrong.  Even the Coleman and Jayco's largest campers dry weight are under weight.  I also looked and most single axle hybrids would work fine.

I was thinking about a couple BALs for our tandem axle hybrid.
The camper weighs about 5500 pounds (GVW) so....

About 500-600 pound tongue weight. Brochure states 400, but that seems low to me.  Guess I should weigh it one day.
The axles would then be supporting about 5000 pounds.
Each side supporting about 2500.
Each wheel on a given side supporting about 1250.

I would obviously use two on one side and raise them equally, but I think it would work.
Numbers wise, using two on our hybrid would be supporting less weight than a pop up.
