You are all awesome! Thanks so much for helping me understand the leveling process. Happy camping and safe travels!!!

With all of this fussyness over leveling, what would you lot do on a boat with all of the things that change the level of it, never mind there is hardly an absolute level floor to be found anywhere on a boat. Then there is that little matter of the fluid ground it is in that is ever changing.

I think that the only problem in a boat would be if it were anchored for an inordinate length of time in a perfectly calm marina. other than that, waves, tides, wind, people walking around, etc. would solve that problem.
but that does cause me concern as at one time I considered RVing in a boat on a trailer and I never thought of the leveling issue as the refer would probably be kattywompus (to use the scientific term) in position in the boat.

You need to level the frame if you actually want the RV to be "LEVEL". All else will fall into place!

Get the bottom of the frame level at all 4 corners then stick on two Hoppy levels in the "LEVEL" position. Now you are good to go!

I put it on the floor of the freezer compartment myself.

When you guys say you use the bottom of the fridge....not sure what you mean. Do you put the level in the bottom of the inside of the fridge or do you place the level underneath the fridge on the frame?

Curious why you use a board ramp first? I just hit autolevel and call it a day - if I get overstroke, I retract, add some blocks under the overstroked pistons, then hit autolevel again. I will level even if it means both wheels on once side are off the ground.

Just personal preference I guess. We tend to camp in mostly unimproved campsites or boondock - even a lot of NFS and BLM designated campsites around here are very uneven. Using the ramp seems to help overdoing the autolevel sequence and helps keep all 4 tires on the ground.

I have a level on the front that I use to level side to side and one on the side that I use to level front to back. Close enough is always good for me. All this must be done..B.I.H..(beer in hand)
