Yep we use our Thule ones quite often.
We take a set of Fiamma ones but so far have only used once. For info, a similar question was asked yesterday - see https://www.t6forum.com/threads/hello.2680/#post-45937
Wedges are good for festivals; it would seem a good idea to put campervans in a flat field but I have ended up in festival fields where the sheep would struggle to stand up!
Just finished 6 weeks in Europe and only needed to use them once, in hindsight I would have left them at home and used the storage space for other items.
Thules ones seem to have the most lift but they are huge.

Got a set of grey Fiamma ones. You can get a bag for them which makes it a bit easier to store them in the van.
They work well when I can get them under the van , however I have had occasions where getting them under the van has been impossible due to lumpy bumpy landscape and running B14 suspension on a very low setting with sidebars and a front splitter!

Well I wasn't sure if we needed these after reading many forum posts and had decided we'd do without. However last weekend was our first night away and while we were on a hard standing (gravel) pitch there was a little slope. Didn't think much of it until we cooked sausages in the morning with the oil all to one side of the pan 
Now on my ever growing shopping list.

Two years in and never needed them. If staying at a site we normally tell them we don't carry levels most of the sites understand and guide us to other options. Mostly free camp now so can chose are area.Well I wasn't sure if we needed these after reading many forum posts and had decided we'd do without.

I often see people pitch up and not bother levelling. I wish I could be like that, because it takes me ages to get perfectly level, and if I don't, I cannot sleep and feel sick if I'm leaning too much when in bed.
I just press a button
I’ve no interest is changing my wheels and/or playing with my suspension height but the ability to rock up at a site and just push a button to level could tempt me to look at air rideI just press a button

We do too and wouldn't want to be without it.
can you elaborate? air suspension? wish there was electromagnetic suspension like the Bose ones, where you could adjust the suspension height of each wheel independently from a button
Yes VB Airsuspension. We have VB-FullAir 4C including the self-levelling option. So long as the suspension variation across the 4 corners will cope with the slope it will provide a level van. It is not as fancy as some air systems but is as close to VW approved as you will get.
Full Air Suspension: VB-FullAir 4C: Volkswagen » VB-Airsuspension
There doesn't need to be a button for each corner because the suspension system levels automatically without the need for user input.
very good.
the only things putting me off are insurance (modification) and the need for an air tank
