Do Any of you NOT Level Off Ever or Rarely?

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.

Hi,

The working fluid "pools" in the wrong places if it is not level.

Gas or electric, both have to be fairly level or you can cause damage.

How is it harmful on electric if it isn't level?

Thanks.

Hi,

Your fridge loves level.

No, it doesn't have to be perfect, but some people can't stand to be out of level. I don't like it when water pools to the low side in the shower or kitchen sink. Fridges don't have to be perfectly level any more, either. I don't like the feeling of walking up or downhill, but some people don't seem to care. It's personal, you see.

I try for 1/2 degree side to side even for an overnight. Front to back we try not to unhitch so prefer park nose down so I can jack it level or close to it without unhitching. On rare occasions we find a site where a little moving around will get it perfect.

I always level, it is no big deal. Damage to the refrigerator from operating off level is accumulative. Keep using it off level and you will be asking the forum why your refrigerator quit for no apparent reason. Electric or LPG, same importance.

I 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..

Ditto! I never thought it was very difficult even before we upgraded.
