Mounted bubble level vs. 2' level
You would think they would put levels on these campers at the factory. Just curious what most people use.My Outback TT has a rounded nose kind of hard to mount a level. Don't know if I want to put one...

Since many points on a rig can have different degrees of level, I first used multiple locations, the frame, fridg, floor, bumper and king pin, and found a good result. After leveling, I used my 1-foot long torpedo level and found an easy location that also showed level ( the kitchen counter).
So now when I put my level on the counter, I use it to tell me how much I need to raise either side. Since the level is one foot long, and with my rig being close to 8 feet wide, when I raise one end of the level to center the bubble, the distance up from the counter tells me how much to raise one side. If it's up 1/8 inch, that tells me to raise that side 1inch (8' x 1/8").
So I only measure once, and not just guessing at how much blocking to put under the tires. Works for me.
