Installing level indicators.

[swimmer_spe]

My trailer only has the side to side level indicator. It does not have the back to front level indicator. How hard is it to install one? Why would it only come with the one?

I use one of these:

Level TT, peel sticker on gauge and stick. I have them on both sides in the front. No more cheating, Dick!

The key to efficient setup in the future is to abide by the advice given that one bubble (or whatever) means X inches need to be added on the low side. This may change depending on the level device you decide on.
I've been cheating lately when a board under two tires may be too much I am only putting a board under one tire to get it closer to level.

If you want to be super accurate, then park on a concrete slab that is level. Then take a 4' level and a couple of 1x2's about 2" long. Put the`1x2's under each end of the level and confirm that it reads level. Then adhere the stick-on levels so that you can see them (front to back and sideways) from the drivers seat. Once they are adhered, use the tiny screws to keep them in that position.
It's pretty simple, but amazing how many people don't do this and find themselves doing it every time they setup!.

Usually they have none.

Level the trailer side to side using spacers under the tires and front to back using the tongue jack. Use a large level on the frame, checking in multiple places and get the best average. Do not use the stabilizer jacks. When it is perfectly level, install the levels with screws or a good VHB tape, do not use the foam junk. I install two levels on opposite corners so I can see any twist.

I used these on our trailer. Get your trailer perfectly level (put a level by the refrigerator) and stick them on the back and side. Each mark on the graduated level corresponds to 1 inch the trailer is out of level side to side. If you don't already have some, I'd get some Lynx Leveling blocks. If you are 1 mark off level, you'll need one block under the tires, 2 marks - 2 blocks, etc.
