Why?

[67Cutlass]

Not trying to be critical here. But really is this necessary?

I have stayed in the site in the photo and can personally say that this site is almost perfectly level. I really don't understand the need for blocks or having the front wheels in the air. And by the looks of it, those rear tires are barely on the ground.

But then again not my business...

That's funny I have that same exact motorhome, color and size but its not me, why is this person using blocks under the jacks, mine don't need blocks at all, that's why the tires are off the ground.

Many gas MH's sit tail-high...I have seen several (on level sites) need to block up the front tires to level. A near-empty gas tank makes it worse.

For all those asking where this is at. That would be Bluewater Key RV Resort near Key West, FL.

As I stated in the first post, I've used this site before, it IS level and the motor home in the picture is NOT level. Ground is not soft, it's packed gravel. Nothing sinks in these sites.

Love it! :B

Maybe just doesn't know how to level with his system. Can't do a light enough touch on the pad to do anything less than this. Looks like he'd be almost level without even using any levelers. Just bump each a tiny bit to relieve pressure from the suspension and tires would still be on the ground.

What is safe is absolutely everyone's business. Great topic and discussion.

I like tires to be shored up. I like to ensure that if there is any side ways lean that the tires prevent that movement. I just like the idea of the tires in contact with something as added support.

The OP could be asking to gain information to why or why not level as shown or how to operate their rig correctly.
People do try to get educated!

Nothing is more entertaining and fun than something that is none of our business.

Nice looking site -- and a great view, too.
Where is that, anyway?

I want to know where this is, too. I wish I was there now!! We had our first snow that stuck yesterday!

As other stated, nobody's business. BUT, the problem with doing what that RV'er did is this----IF you have one of those front jacks that either leaks down or you have a failure of the front jack hydraulic system and it leaks down, the odds are
1. Your frame will twist beyond specs
2. The windshield will either break or pop out of the gasket/frame
3. I advise people to place blocks under the wheels if you lift it off the ground. Doug

Gm and early Workhorse chassis have air bags in the front.
HWH manual says not to lift off the ground, front or back.
looking at photo the rear is lifted more then necessary requiring the front to be lifted more.

Those are not AIR BAGS in the ride height sense. Those air bags in the coil springs just INCREASE the Weight carrying capacity of the front end. When inflated or deflated the front end did not lift up more than 1 inch. Those older bags systems--the bags are required for correct handling. Doug

I suspect they raised the rear a bit too much. With a gas coach if you don't take some weight off the rear the coach will bounce on the rear suspension. An inch of lift on one end will grow pretty quickly in relation to the slope and distance between jacks.

Maybe the owner "is slightly off the bubble"

[peaches_cream]

When I owned my gasser, and was in a site like this, I had the DW get out and dig a hole large enough for the rear tires too set in. When I left the site, I would leave the hole for the next RVer. :B
