While on vacation with our new to us TT, I notice the gray and black water tank fill levels of our wall gauges was affected by the side to side leveling.If the driver side of the TT is only slightly lower, the gauges shows 1/3 full, even after the tanks have been emptied.While checking for level, I noticed the floor, the table and the slide all showed different amounts of out of level. So, the question is, where do you measure for level on you trailer?

I do it off the tongue with a round bubble level. I like my trailer a tad nose high, since the queen bed is up front and it also keeps any rain that falls at night drip off the back instead of next to my head... :)I can see how side to side level would effect the tank gauges, since they are usually on the side of the tanks...So far with over 11 years of camping with the same trailer, my tongue leveling as served me well... :)Mitch

I start out with a level in the freezer than when the TT is level I stick the stick on level on the each side near the front and one on each side in the front of the TT

I level my fridge and don't worry about the rest.I have a 12" level, with a magnetic strip built in. When not in use it stores on my range hood.

Level is a funny thing. I didn't think it mattered much when we started camping, but now I can sense it if it's off too far. I leveled the frig, countertop, bathtub, etc. and nothing was in syc, but all were close, so I chose the frig as the bench mark, leveled to that, then once I got it right on with my digital level, went outside and installed the bubbles on the front corner of the trailer. Now when we pull in to a site, I know instantly how many Lynx blocks I'll need side to side, then crank to the bubble after unhitching for front to back.

Level the freezer, that's what counts in leveling. The rest will vary but should be close. If you don't level the frig/freezer then expect a short life out of the refrigerator.It isn't as bad as it used to be but it is still very important.
