Slides on a slight incline

So I was looking at my rig as it sits in the driveway getting ready for our trip and I got a funny feeling. It does not sit level and we actuate the slides out to load it. Though I have never had a problem or heard any strange sounds I was wondering. Is this bad for the rig?

How un-level is bad for the slides? On page 325 of the Your rig thread is a picture of our rig in the drive.

  • i have a good slope on my driveway.
    i built a couple wooden blocks (about 18-20 inches tall) to cut back how far my landing legs go out, the little lego blocks for under the wheels on one side, (three high front axle, two high rear axle). this just about does a plumb level for parking at home. min wiggle.

    my 5er is only 25 feet long and one can just bonk there head on the pin. i am just under 6 ft tall).
    so no problems working my slide or running the reefer, stove, heater, ac. and one does not feel off camber inside.
  • If they had to be deployed perfectly level only, then all of us would be in trouble. Each camper has their own stress point where too much IS too much. Evidently yours has no problem on a "slight" incline. Try to keep as level as possible, but don't sweat it.
