Can we stop....

suggesting to people, especially those who are new to RVing, to dig holes and/or trench to solve elevation or leveling problems? There were 2 different threads recently where an offered solution was to dig holes under tires to level the camper because the OP's leveling jacks weren't working. In another thread someone suggested digging a trench so the OP's waste tote would be lower than the output of the RV's sewer.

I get the impression that these folks are only joking about digging holes or trenches, but to those that are new here, they could totally take it as a viable solution. Although I'd love to see the Park Ranger's face when he finds a camper digging holes in the site, I don't think we should be suggesting people dig holes in camp sites.

  • how hard is it to carry (2) 2x8x5foot and (2) 2x8x4foot boards.. unless you are camping on the side of a mountain .. you got it covered.

    I mean .. if there is a drop/rise of 7 inches across 8 foot.. find a better spot.
  • Agree! I saw one of those and quietly said "hmmmm...."
  • I have seen it done.
    Digging holes is not a joke. But a real PITA for the next RV that gets that site.
