Guys, lets remember that this is posted in the beginning RV section. The OP may be new to RV'ing. We were all once newbies. I am only a 18 months into RV'ing so I am by no means an expert.
PPDUNN, according to your posts, this was your site
I can see the slope but it's not as bad as some I have seen. Our last camp outing had me using 4 Lynx blocks per tire. Thankfully I had 2 sets :D It took a bit but we were able to get it level. Personally, I got spoiled by our popup and the BAL leveler but now that we have a TT I am having to learn to level with blocks. It just takes practice.
Please don't take any of this as offense as I am going to be very remedial here. Get you at least 2 sets of Lynx Levelers. Since my last trip I have ordered a third set just to be able to make it easier to ramp up and down for the dual axles. Some use wood and are fine with that. I prefer the blocks. Basically this is personal preference. Once you have your blocks, take the camper and go to an area that you know isn't level (a dirt road for example) and just practice. Pick a spot where you know one side will be in a hole. Put your levelers down and pull forward. This is where your SO comes in to help. After a couple times you will get it.
As far as the fridge goes, invest in a Wireless Weather Station like this and keep the outdoor portion of the unit in your fridge. That has saved me many a times more from keeping things too cold rather than letting it warm up. But it can alert you to that as well.
Again, none of this was meant to say you don't know what you are doing but passing on some tips and tricks that I have learned or were passed on to me.
How come the trees look tilted in the photo? Could it be that the camera isn't level which is why the campsite looks more level than it really is?
