Now that the warmer months are here and most of us will be using our A/Cs, which direction you tilt from side to side may determine if you level the rig or not. For instance, we camped a few weekends ago. The concrete pads were pretty level...and adding a levelling block would have shifted the levelling ball on my pinbox to about the same amount off-level, but to the other side...so I just left it as it was pretty close to level already.
This was our first trip in our fiver that required A/C...and since i was slightly tilted to the curb side, that's where the A/C condensation flowed to -- and dripped down the right rear corner rain spout. We have an outdoor kitchen...and do all of our cooking outside. Each time the A/C let go of it's condensation, it would drip just a few inches away from where I have my stove/grill set up with each drop splashing on my leg. It was pretty annoying...but I didn't feel like hooking the the rig back up to the truck as it would have required bringing in the slides, etc. since there were tree branches around that woudld have made it more work than worth. So I put my outdoor folding garbage can under the spout and let that collect the water. Not ideal, but worked. So mental note for next time...make sure I have a slight tilt toward the street side of the rig so the condensation drips into an area that we're not. :) Live and learn.
