Tips to Level Your Travel Trailer at the Campsite

Traveling with a trailer is both fun and hassle-free. However, before settling into a picturesque campsite, making sure your travel trailer is level is essential. Without proper leveling, you might face issues, such as uncomfortable sleeping arrangements or malfunctioning refrigerators that depend on even surfaces to operate efficiently. Don’t worry, though; we can help you level your RV properly. Here are a few tips to get you started!

Selecting the Right Spot

When choosing your campsite, look for flat ground. This not only makes the leveling process easier but also provides stability. If natural terrain options aren’t available, having leveling blocks is key. These blocks allow you to compensate for slight inclines and uneven ground, ensuring your trailer remains steady.

Using Leveling Blocks Correctly

Once you've parked your trailer, it's time to utilize those handy leveling blocks. Position them behind or in front of the lower wheels, creating a short ramp. Slowly drive onto these ramps until your app or bubble level shows that the trailer is even from side to side. Remember to place wheel chocks, as they are crucial for preventing any unintentional movement once you've parked.

Fine-Tune with Stabilizer Jacks 

With the side-to-side leveling handled by blocks, focus next on front-to-back adjustments using the travel trailer’s stabilizer jacks. Lower and adjust these jacks gradually until your levels indicate an even surface both horizontally and vertically. Be cautious not to use stabilizer jacks as primary supports—they are intended only for balance adjustments.

Completing this straightforward process ensures you’ll enjoy maximum comfort and appliance effectiveness during your camping adventure.
