Howdy all,
We ran into a new experience this weekend. For the first time, we have set up the Heartland Oakmont on a spot that hasn't been graded close to level. In fact, we've had to extend the landing gear to their full extension in order to level the RV, even after putting a set of 4 blocks under both of the front legs. Unfortunately there are no real alternative locations at the spot. and choosing not to camp here is out of the question as we are camping in order to compete in a Regional shooting match that we've worked hard to get to all year. The only way to get it level was to do it manually. The 6 point level up wouldn't do it.
I'm assuming that being able to extend the legs fully in order to get the RV level is okay. Is there any reason why I should NOT leave the RV in this condition?
I have 6 point and have had to do this many times in the desert w/ no problem.
BUT with a caution to be aware of... If your front legs are on an angle like mine, they will have to "slip" to extend fully because of the angle. Be sure the feet are on something that will allow a little slippage as you go up and down. If not you may get a very scary sudden slip or possible damage the legs if they can't move to compensate for the angle.
