We arrived at a site that is not very level. I pulled in front first as we are overlooking a lake. I do have some plastic leveling ramps which has three levels to drive on which brings the coach up about 6 inches. I then chocked the rear wheels and used the levelers to bring the front end up without allowing the wheels to raise up. Bottom line is we were still rear end higher than the front end. I almost feel like the front needs to come up at least another 6 inches. What do you guys do in a situation like this?

Personally I move someplace else.

First, look at the rear and be sure that you are not going to bury it in the ground if you raise the front more. Then I raise the front more. I store mine with the front wheels off the ground and have not had an issue yet. With air suspension the weight is off all the wheels every time I level it anyway. I don't believe that a little air gap is going to make much difference.

You can raise your front wheels off the ground to get level. Sometimes we put blocks under the jacks so we can raise the front higher. Never had a problem. Of course on a DP you might need a step stool to get in the door.

We run into this when we stay at Newport Dunes, RV Resort in Newport Beach, CA. I have 2x10's that are bolted together 3 high and ramped that I drive up on. Then I have a couple of blocks that I place under the leveling jacks. I really do not like having the front wheels off the ground. But most at Newport Dunes do have their front wheels off the ground.

I would raise my Pace Arrow a little above level, then put blocks under tires then lower to level so tires would rest on blocks. May need to put blocks under jacks to raise high enough.

I agree with raising the front till level. If the levelers don't have enough stroke, just put some 2x12 wood pads under them. With the rear wheels on the ground, you will be fine.

That is really sad that a groomed site should as those is that much out of level :S

OP...hope you get front high enough to be reasonably level.

Turn fridge off until you do.........unless you have a compressor fridge
