My coach doesnt have leveling jacks and i was wondering what you use to tell you when the coach is level. ( stick level on the floor of the rv, etc...) also if you use the stick on bubble levels, where did you place them? I wqill be using either leveling blocks or boards to get the coach level... Thx!

Since the refrigerator is the most important item to get level, I placed our stick-on levels on the front and side of the fridge.For our wheelbase, we can be as much as 7 inches out of level front to back or side to side and still be within the allowable range for the fridge. For our personal comfort as well as having a safety factor for the fridge, we keep out of level to be less than 3 inches either way.We find we very seldom need to use our lego blocks in an RV park. State and federal park sites are more apt to be out of level.

The previous owner of my class C included a carpenter's spirit level that they used and it works well. There's a nice big linoleum floor area inside the door to check it against.I use homemade wooden ramp blocks to level, and created a little leveling ruler that's graduated by ramp height scaled by the radio of the length of the level to the wheelbase (on one side) and track (on the other) of the motorhome. By holding it up against the low end of the level and then lifting until the level is level, I can directly read off the number of ramps needed to bring things to level.

I have used Hoppy Levels for many years. Mount them where you can see them from the drivers seat and choose the most level spot you can find. Then place leveling blocks as indicated by the levels.Install them initially by leveling the refrig with a carpenter's level, then mount the Hoppy levels

Hi,I leveled the fridge and then added stick on bubble levels in the cab so I can see what is going on.Shortly I'll have my ARP fridge protection unit installed--that will make leveling less critical.For the actual leveling I'm now using Andersen levelers. They work well.

Once I got the RV to that level point, I mounted a round bubble level right behind my driver seat (so I could see it without having to get out of the seat) showing the RV as level. Now, when my round bubble level shows level, I know the RV floor, bed, etc. may not be perfectly level, but the fridge is level.

That's how I did it. I used a level in the fridge to establish what is level. Once I got the RV to that level point, I mounted a round bubble level right behind my driver seat (so I could see it without having to get out of the seat) showing the RV as level.

my iPhone Vs. The compass app is also a level. I set it on the dog house which is level when sitting on level ground (I checked with a bubble level). And yes, when the dog house is level the refrigerator is also level. The face goes from red to green when completely level. Though I am willing to be a degree or two off on a 26' RV.

X2 on Andersen levelers. I have bubble level on the dash and on the drivers door. With the Andersen's leveling is a breeze.

First of all I found that if you place a bulls eye level on the counsel between the front seats WHEN you pull in, that will assist you in finding the most level spot that is on the site before you even get out of the RV!

After using this method I found that most times it totally eliminated having to use levelers under the tires!!

I started out using the Lynx honey come levelers. But they crack. Especially in sand they just crack right up when you pull up on them.

After buying my third set of those I switched to the solid ones. Still using the same ones.

And btw you will need to buy 2 sets.

I leveled my MH using a level on the bottom of the freezer compartment, then put one of these bullseye levels on the console, smushing it into silicone sealer to show level. then I can just use the bulls eye level to check it.

I don't have one set of the yellow blocks, I will get a second set. I like the bullseye levels. I was thinking about getting one and at least setting it on the floor in front of the fridge to get an initial reading when first pulling into a spot. Then moving it to another spot etc... I like not having to get out of the drivers seat to get a reading also. So..I'm thinking one on the doghouse is a good idea too. With a 31 ft coach, I know that the off level will multiply the further from the true level I go

And btw you will need to buy 2 sets.
