Leaning or tilting RVs can lead to poor sleep, ill-fitted or improperly functioning doors and windows, and even disrupt optimal operation of fitted equipment such as fridges. By ensuring your travel trailer is leveled properly, you can ensure that your camping experience is comfortable and safe. To learn how to successfully level your travel trailer with no hassle, check out our handy guide below.
Step-by-Step Guide to Leveling a Travel Trailer
Before we dive into the steps, remember that you need the right tools for this job: a pair of leveling blocks, wheel chocks, and a bubble level. With these in hand, follow the steps below:
- Survey your potential parking spot: Look for surfaces that are naturally flat, as they're easier to work with.
- Position your travel trailer: Aim to align its side that's closest to passing vehicles parallel with the road.
- Determine if it's level: Use your bubble level.
- Adjust using blocks: Apply leveling blocks under tires as needed.
- Deploy wheel chocks: These prevent unwanted movement while performing further adjustments or when set up.
In successfully following these steps, you'll make sure your trailer is not just safe but will also maintain functionality across all amenities inside your vehicle during your camping trip.
Leveling a travel trailer may sound daunting at first glance, but with patience and repeated practice during each outing, this important setup step will gradually transition into second nature for most RV owners. The more frequently you perform this task, the quicker you will get at setting up in no time even on uneven terrains, enhancing your overall experience by removing initial setup woes.
