What leveling system should we put on our TC

Lippert Leveling system

Does anyone have this leveling system on their TC?
How well does it work?

Does anyone have any leveling system on their TC that they would recommend ?

We have a 9.5 Host camper (with electric jacks) on a long bed Ford-350... He uses the remote to level and I walk around and look at the side "bubble" level indicators until we both agree that it's level.

Hubby would like something a little easier to go by.... something that beeps when level would be nice along with lights. Anything out there close to this?

Works well and quick, as it has for over fifty years :).


Yes, bubbles work fine, this is just a geeky bubble. But I still can't see the bubbles while parking, so this eliminates a lot of back and forth trying to get the side-to-side as close as possible without leaving the driver seat. This isn't as big a deal in an rv park and camp grounds where things are already pretty level, but in the uneven forest with my pop-up trailer, it's very helpful while picking a spot.


That's when you get it level at home, and install two in the cab 😉

Since this is a Truck Camper, and not a trailer, once the truck is level, the camper is level 🙂


This was designed for a pull-behind Trailer. My dad has a big bus and he thinks it's slick because his auto levelers don't exactly "auto-level" and he likes the quick-glance at the app and a couple button presses on the bus and he's level'er. I also have someone using it in his Customized Van-camper because he likes to park at the right angles without necessarily needing to jack it up.

And yes, bubbles on the dash would work just as well, especially in a truck camper.

Two RV LEVELS could be installed on a longer rig, a Bus, one in front and one in back, to compare the left-right levels between them to prevent twisting.

The RV LEVEL hardware is installed in the Trailer. You have the Phone in your cab with you to watch the Trailer levels remotely. What you see on the App is your Trailers levels, not the Cab's levels. That would just be silly 🙂

Yes, an accelerometer with bluetooth talking to a phone app. I was looking for a long time and no one made one for me so I made it myself.

I will try to get my Amazon account to offer shipping to Canada. Check back soon.

I made and sell this on Amazon because I wanted a better remote level indicator since the DW is usually pouring the wine while I level. More features will be added to the app to be useful while driving to possibly detect sway or low-tires on trailers.
