Installing level indicators.
My trailer only has the side to side level indicator. It does not have the back to front level indicator. How hard is it to install one? Why would it only come with the one?

Agree! Most RV don't come with levels. To have one already is quite unique.
Where is level on an RV? Do you level by a shelf in the refrigerator, from the floor, from the walls, ceiling, stove top, inside of oven, counter top, tongue, frame. Every spot will give a different "level" point. You have to figure out what needs to be level and get the camper set there first, THEN add the leveler.
Modern RV refrigerators have a bit of tolerance built into them. You can be off some and they still work fine. So, what was most important to have "level" for us? Personally, I HATE having doors swing and cabinet doors swinging. When I open a door or a cabinet door, I want it to stay right there, and not swing open or closed, or move at all.
I found, the best place to level is the outside door frame. The door frame works great as it's square to the entire build of the camper, frame, floor, ceiling, cabinets, everything!
By turning a simple carpenter's to level side to side, and then front to back, I could get everything else level, including the refrigerator, counter tops, stove, and all the cabinet doors. Nothing swings open or closed, eggs don't slide off the skillet, and the water in the toilet bowel is level.
I use the same one on my 5th wheel. Once setup it's great.
If I could use the Andersen Levelers it would be even easier.
