Is this normal?
For a camper to lean to one side a little due to 2 deep slide outs? Boards under the tires the best fix?

- Thanks. I will make the adjustment next time out.
- Yes, very normal. As others have stated, you will learn how much to level a little high on that side before extending the slides to compensate.
- Our TT has one super slide on the left. We added a fifth scissor jack just in front of the wheels on that side and level prior to extending. Seems to slow settling and steady out the rig besides.
Make sure you put big enough pads under the jacks on softer ground.

This is what we do as well.- If you boondock off the pavement, the stabilizers will sink into ground some on the slide side.
You simply can't fight gravity.
Just put that side a little higher during setup.
After awhile I found that I could judge the softness of the ground pretty good as for as knowing how much of a correction to make. - x2 on the setting the left (slide) side just slightly high, then the weight of the two slides will bring it down to to level (otherwise the head of the bed hangs low and I get weird dreams--of course I'm sure the beer has no effect there...)
- IF you really snug the stabilizers down after leveling, and before extending the slide. They should keep it from leaning on the springs.

- Thanks everyone.
- We take into consideration the slide extended when leveling.
