Leveling questions

Yo,
A question came to mind as we were leveling the trailer yesterday. How anal are you about putting the bubble in the middle of the level? The Lynx levelers I guess would work in most cases, hover, when we put a level to the trailer, we raised the right side to where the bubble was in the middle, but the 1 inch lynx leveler was to big to fit below the wheel. Do you just level in one inch increments and let it stay at that? So what else can you do? Leave one wheel up just off the ground or what?
Thanks all.

 

A level? There's a level? And leveling jacks?

Why wasn't I told about this???

 

Yeah, what he said!

In all fairness to Craig, ours is the first production model, so it is sans many of the myriad of options available today. A few years ago, he had to do some extensive renovations on it & added the leveling jacks at that time. Although we generally don't need them, they are a nice addition. As for the level, eyeballing has worked for me...plus it would mean I would lose valuable space for some very necessary cooking accessory.

 

yup we keep the head a little high if needed and eye ball. I think it was Tina that showed us how to use a wine glass as a level as well as the swing of the doors. It works and I have an app on my iphone if I ever needed it. Less extra stuff so I do not have to remember where it is and like Betsy says saves room for food and cooking ware.

 

a wine glass?

I use a spray can of Pam

Seems to work

Ok, I get the wine glass, but Pam? Al, please explain? And are there really levels on the jacks? Have only used our jacks once and didn't notice a thing! Monica

 

ALCat i think we are all waiting to hear about the pam.Steve

 

The best I could figure, he lays the Pam on its side, and if it rolls he has some leveling to take care of. Is that what you do?

 

Marty showed us our preferred leveling technique… put the drain plug in the sink add a little water, raise the side that has the most water until it's pretty close to equal on both sides of the drain. Works front to back also using the tongue jack… adjust to your desired sleeping angle.

I cut two jack pads out of some scrap 5/4 decking that I had laying around. Easily stores in the axe hole (front storage area). Haven't had a need for anything more to this point.

 

Thanks I had not heard that one but makes sense. Pads sound easily doable too.
