Putting on Level Bubbles

I'd use the floor in front of your frig.

I used the floor for the base.Word of wisdom,put them on all 4 corners.

Floor

I would take my level reading from the refrigerator; it is the only thing that seems to care. When the frig is level, I would attach my levels outside by the tongue jack.

In my case, the frame, floor, sink, frig and slide all show slightly different level readings. Therefore, I lay a level on the frame, then I jack the trailer level and do a quick check of the frig make sure it is close.

I am sure there is a bit of frame torqueing when the slide it out or the ground in not really level and the wheels are on blocks.

Get the frame level side to side and front to rear. Use a good 4 foot or longer level and get it as close as possible using shims under the tires and adjusting the front jack. Very minor tweaking can then be done using the stabilizer jacks. Now attach your levels with the bubbles centered. Forget about the silly refrigerator method, if it is that far off, fix it.

The reason for the "silly refrigerator method" is the importance of having it(the fridge) level for proper operation.

FROM A NORCOLD MANUAL
Leveling
Comfortable vehicle leveling is well within the operating requirements of 3 degrees off level side-to-side and 6
degrees off level front-to-back (looking at the front of the refrigerator). Continued operation outside of these limits
can result in irreparable damage to the cooling system.

I have installed some of the small bubble levels on the back of my trailer near the bumper, left and right side, one in the middle and top of the bumper plus one on the front. The trailer had two on the front sides already installed. I can tell how close I am when I back into a spot. I also have a small level that I use once I am unhooked. My iphone has one on it. I use it if I want to get critical.

2X . . . . :B .. However, the modern refrigerators will work with 1/2 to a full bubble out. Old (30 years ago) refrigerators need to be level.

Use the feature on your iphone,very fast and slick,shows degrees of tilt and direction .

I first leveled the fridge and then checked the stovetop. If there was not too much difference I used the stovetop as my guide.

DW did not want eggs to slide to one side of the pan or have a cake with one site 1/2 inch thicker than the other side.

Wanted to keep her happy.
