Expert Answers about RV Levels


  • Does Trailer Already Have to be Level to Use Hopkins RV Leveling Kit
  • Good question, and it sounds like you are asking if you need to calibrate the electronic level of the Hopkins RV Leveling Kit with Electronic LED Smart Level # HM0820K. The answer to that is yes, you will need it calibrate it to level. To do this you can simply set it on a table or other flat, level surface beforehand, so your actual trailer doesn't need to be perfectly level to use it, you can install it after calibrating it. I have added a link to a couple video reviews for you to check...

  • Is It Recommended to Have Leveling Blocks for Each Wheel on a Dual Wheel RV
  • If you are parking your RV for a short period of time, say for just a day or two, you should be okay. Anything longer than that and you will need to have leveling blocks for each tire/wheel. Ultimately you want your RV to be safe and stable when you have it parked. It is definitely more stable to have leveling blocks for each tire/wheel rather than trying to make sure that you get one leveling block just right for both. I have attached our selection of leveling block for you to look...

  • How Level Does EverChill Refrigerator Need to Be During Operation
  • Just like a standard household refrigerator, the Everchill RV Refrigerator # 324-000119 that you referenced should be as level as possible to avoid fluid accumulation that can affect its operation. Refrigerators like this one should be within 3 degrees off level side-to-side and 6 degrees off level front-to-back. Generally speaking if the RV/trailer is level enough for your comfort it is likely okay for the refrigerator too. The Everchill refrigerator does feature adjustable front legs...

  • Does Camco RV Battery Powered Level CAM25505 Require Recalibration
  • The Camco RV Battery Powered Level # CAM25505 is factory-calibrated, but may need to be recalibrated from time to time to insure accuracy.

Place the EzLevel on a flat surface like a dinning table, oriented so that the EzLevel logo is on top (it does not have to be a level surface). 2. Push the power button to activate EzLevel 3.

  • Why Shouldn't FasTen RV Leveling Blocks Be Stacked Higher Than 4-1/2 Inches
  • The FasTen RV Leveling Blocks # CAM44525 should not be stacked to give you more than 4-1/2 inches of lift because it would cause too much instability and be too much of a stressor on the blocks. The shipping weight of these blocks is 17 lbs. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the FasTen RV Leveling Blocks # CAM44525.

  • Maximum Tire Width Recommendation For The Thule RV Wheel Levelers # TH307617
  • The instructions included with the Thule RV Wheel Levelers # TH307617 do state that the tires should be 20mm narrower than the width of the levelers for even support across the tires. That being said, these levelers are intended for motorhome use and most motorhomes are going to have a wider tire than 7-5/8" (roughly 194mm) and most people just ignore this guideline. You wouldn't really damage your tires, you'd just not have as much even support and could run the risk of more weight leaning...

  • The Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack, # LC369774 does have a stop point to prevent from overextending the 30" of travel.

  • Difference Between The Alpha Systems 1021 and 5121 Self-Leveling Sealants
  • Both the Alpha Systems 1021 Self-Leveling Sealant for RVs - White - 10.3oz - Qty 1 # AL98KV and the Alpha Systems AlphaThane 5121 Self-Leveling Sealant for RVs - Gray - 9.8oz - Qty 1 # AL45KV are good for use on TPO roofing and will allow you to re-caulk your roof accessories for a water tight seal. The only difference between these two sealants is that the 5121 has a longer drying time which will allow you more time to get it exactly how you want. Also, the # AL45KV is gray while the AL98KV...

  • Can the FasTen RV Leveling Blocks be Used on a Tandem Axle Trailer
  • You are correct! The FasTen RV Leveling Blocks w/ Carrying Handle # CAM44525 can be placed in any orientation that helps to level your trailer. The only thing you have to make sure of is that you don't go more than 4 blocks high as you aren't supposed to exceed 4-1/2" of total height. Other than that though there really is no issue with making the leveling blocks into a longer configuration for a tandem axle trailer.

  • How Far can the Jacks Extend that Come with the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 # LC358590
  • The Lippert Ground Control 3.0 # LC358590 is a great system that is pretty much universal and could be installed on your RV, but it will won't be able to extend far enough for your RV to sit level where it is at without utilizing blocks like you are currently doing. The rear jacks have a total travel of 12-1/2" and the front jacks have a total travel of 36". If your trailer was turned around you may be able to find a way to make it work without using too many blocks, but your best bet...

  • How to Lift Front End of Class C Motorhome to Level Out When Parked
  • I would install the Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jack # UF48-979006 right behind your front wheels. This will help to level an RV but please note it is not meant to be used to lift your RV off of the front wheels. Another thing to note is that scissor jacks are meant to be installed on travel trailers and not a motorhome. For your motorhome you'll want to use the FasTen RV Leveling Blocks w/ Carrying Handle # CAM44512 instead. These stack on top of each other and you can add up to 4-1/2" of...
