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 looks suspiciously like Bluewater Key to me. If that's the case, I agree with the OP that that amount of leveling is a bit extreme.

Site appears to be sloping down toward water, but I don't fret about what or how others are deciding to camp the way they choose, just too busy enjoying myself to waste my time. I often have my rig slightly off level for a variety of reasons without conferring with my fellow campers, I guess I'm lucky someone hasn't wandered over to ask why.

Raise my fronts off any time it is necessary, never had a problem.

Automatic level systems do get out of calibration. Sometimes they go oops, too much, over and over again, until the whole rig is in the air even on the most level site.
It is a delicate matter to approach a camper with such an issue.

It looks to me that it's downhill toward that lake. So the MH appears to be level.

Seems to me it would make the RV rock solid with no jiggle when you walk around in it, even if it wasn't needed to level.

Well,
The first thing is, it's not any of ours motor home. Unless someone were to ask this person why his/her wheels are off the ground, we can only speculate. Now, maybe this coach was outfitted with automatic levelers and, I've read and heard many complaints about auto levelers continuously elevating the coach too high to achieve a level status.

Ours has auto leveling and it does exactly what it's supposed to and it does not take the coach up any higher than it needs to. That is of coarse, based on the status of the camp site in the first place. Now, maybe in this persons case, his refrigerator is mounted incorrectly and, the person is only trying to get that refrigerator level. Again, we really don't know what's happening here.

I've stated in many posts I'm not a fan of hanging the front wheels. If someone, anyone wants to do it, fine by me, it's not my coach. It's not my place to judge. We have seen many, many times, very un level coaches in campsites/RV parks all over and, every once in a while, if the owner is out and about, I might politely ask or, mention that I noticed it appears that they might be unlevel.

Many times, the answer is, "It's fine, I just don't worry about that stuff". I say, "have a nice day" and walk away. So, who knows why this person placed the coach in that position, especially if the OP says he's been in that particular spot and it's pretty level?

It don't really bother me as to why he did it.

[enblethen]

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.

before u condem this guy take a 12 inch level at this spot at the front tire area and raise one end of the level till the bubble centers.then measure how far off the ground the level is.That will give u whats called the pitch.amplifiy that by the distance from the center of the rear tire to middle of front tire. I bet u will find this situation u see pictured here as level and hence why the tires are of the ground as u see.
To clarify what iam saying is take the rear wheel area.Take a string and run it from where center of rear wheel would lay to center of where front wheel would lay.Raise it (string) till level shows level at front wheel center.measure from there to ground and now u will know how much to needed to raise the MH to make level.It can(lot angle) be very deceiving as possible in the case of this one

Front tires off the ground on a almost perfectly level spot?

Something is amiss.

Guess I can't tell if it is level by photo. I have RVers knocking on my door all the time telling me I must be new to camping because front wheels are off the ground. It is very trying to my patience. For those not aware, like couple of pevious posts say. Gas MHs don't have air bags. Front off ground OK. The back must stay on the ground. :S

I use them so i dont have to extend the rams etc as far.I would sooner only extend my rams 6 inches reather than say 12 inches
sometimes u need spacers because the rams fully extended still wont bring u level so yes sometimes u need blocks to get more height
