5TH WHEEL SMARTPHONE LEVELER APP

QUESTION: can anyone recommend a smartphone Level APP that is designed for 5th wheels (tandem axle). I found a few but most are for travel trailers or motor home but could not find anything specific for 5th wheels.
(Hep... my old flip phone just died, had to get a SmartPhone. Last man standing)

  • Regardless of device you use, you still have to determine "what" is level in the camper, that is most important? The inside of the refrigerator? The stove top (so eggs don't slide out of the pan)? Counter tops? The door frame? The floor? The Bed? The air conditioner? The holding tanks? Because .... I've never known an RV yet that will have all of these things level at the same time. A carpenter's level is still the best. It doesn't depend on electricity and is always accurate. I level mine based on the entry door frame, front to back and side to side. Works every time. If the entry door is straight both ways, and there's no swing in the door, everything else is pretty close. At least it's in good alignment with the stove top, and eggs don't roll on the floor on the counter tops! And the water standing in the bottom of my toilet is pretty level.
  • I just old schooled it, when I bought the fiver i just leveled it and put the stick on levels on the side and front so I can see when its level or needs a board
  • Smart phones aren't smart enough to know what RV you have. Level is level :)
