Winter time - RV unit, prefectly level or tip backwards

[dtzackus]

For the winter months, do you level the rig perfectly level or tip it backwards/forwards a little with the snow fall?

OP, a bit off level front to back is good for roof /slide drainage. The fridge ain't running so no worries. Get the water off.

I am perfectly level side to side, but I typically leave the front and back level as well, I was just curious what other people did. Over the winter I do not drop the jacks, just let it sit on the 4 tires.

I have mine so the driver's side is about 1" low. The water runs off the flat roof on the driver's side and leaves the passenger side free of black streaks.

We level ours and add a Sunshield tarp with black side up.

I store mine at home in my driveway. For the most part, it's about a level as it can get. The camper is facing due West East, with the front of the camper facing West. When the weather predicts high winds, I'll go out and lower the nose. Considering RV's are designed to endure 90 or 100 mile an hour winds (on the road), natures wind is no different. So if the wind hits the camper, nose down, it harder for wind to get under the camper and lift up. Our winds always come out of the west, across an open corn field, right between the garage and the house, in line of the camper where it's parked. But the wind on the roof, will push the front down (like a spoiler on the back of a race car). I then lower the jacks for a bit more stability. It's never rolled or moved in my driveway. Once the wind storm is over, I'll level it again, front to back. Reason I do so, is because we keep ours plugged in all the time to shore power and run the refrigerator 24x7x365. So want the camper level as possible as much as possible.

I am inclined to say level - the roof is designed for water to run off. Also if tipped then water will run to the roof mounted A/C unit & could leak under the rubber seal if left to stand there.

Just remember in the spring to level it before using the fridge I

[rwbradley]

I would assume him being from PA = snow & and unused storage in the winter
And the fact that he asked = flat roof

I am curious about opinions on this too.

[brirene]

I keep mine more or less level and let the slope of the roof work as designed. That said, no reason not to tip it, and I think alot of folks do. Can't see any harm either way.

I don't think it really matters if you have a crowned roof. It will roll off the sides before it gets to the front or rear. Pick which gutters you want it to drip off.

Sorry, but I don't understand why you'd want to mess with the level once you get it leveled.

Are you storing it or living in it? What, are you going out every few days to mess with the level? Perhaps more information would get you answers.
