- Bird_FreakExplorer III level or at least very close. I dont want to wonder if I was the reason I had to buy a new fridge.
- TerryallanExplorer IIBeing level, also helps drain the tanks.
- tatestExplorer III always level, but that not always means blocks. Most of the places I go, I can get level just by moving around a little bit on the site.
It helps if the site is sloped slightly, down to the back, and has a little bit of crown to play with, because on an absolutely level spot I need 3/4 under the front wheels to adjust for chassis rake (or I can let air out of the rear springs), and 3/4 on left rear to compensate for what the slide does. The last one is about not sleeping head downhill. - YnotTurboExplorerI hit the auto level button and its done in about 30 seconds... :) Even before the high tech system, I had to have a level rv. Shower water will drain if level...more comfortable sleeping too..
- RoyBExplorer III have to level my popup end to end or I cant use the one and only front door... Also I like to level it with the back side is down an inch so that any run off of the roof will always go to the back side of the trailer.
- naturistNomadI have slept in beds that were not level, and generally didn't enjoy it. Generally this was in tents in my foolish youth. The final straw came the morning my bride and I awoke 10 feet down the hill from the tent we'd slid out of in the night. Luckily it was in a nudist campground, where the sight of us jumping out of our sleeping bags starkers didn't cause a stir.
I am, however, also mindful of the fact that the fridge, being an absorption type unit, is sensitive to being off level. Consequently I pay attention to leveling the trailer both for that fridge and for our sleeping comfort. Not to mention the annoyance factor of trying to cook on a stovetop that is unlevel.
YMMV. Do whatever you wish. If the 5 minutes work it takes to level properly is too much for you, feel free to leave 'er hanging anyway that suits you. - trickyvic3ExplorerI always try to level our tt as best I can. I know they say the fridge wont work as well if not fairly level.
Vic - Desert_CaptainExplorer IIINo, I will always get the 22' TT to dead level (plus or minus no more than one half degree of leveling bubble), both fore and aft as well as side to side, when we park even if we will have AC (which is not very often). If the power goes out and the frig swtiches over to propane in the middle of the night I don't have to worry if the TT is level enough for optimum operation. It is very easy to get/set it right when we pull in. :C
- WrongWayRandallExplorerWe don't usually worry about leveling, but we drive a smaller vehicle so it may not be as noticeable for us as it would be for a full sized class A. Unless there is a large grade we just park so that our heads will be higher than our feet and don't worry about it. That said, most parks we have stayed in have been level to mostly level so it has not been a big deal to date.
- rockhillmanorExplorer IIIn the 'beginning' I HAD to have it perfectly level.
As time went on RV'ing I ended up parking with it not level unless I was staying over a week or more than I'd put the effort in to level it better.
A lot depends if the RV has automatic levelers what answers you will get.
If you have MH I finally found that by putting a bull's eye level on the floor up front or on the console you can get a better shot WHERE the levelest spot is in the site BEFORE even getting out. Cuts down on how many level blocks you have to use substantially compared to just pulling in and leveling it where it sits.
Using the bulls eye actually cut down my need to level by more than 1/2.
