Frenchy Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 I AM NEW TO THE RV SCENE AND JUST PURCHASED A 2021 THOR CHATEAU 29 FEET, BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE A LEVELING SYSTEM. HOW IMPORTANT OR CRITICAL IS THIS AND SHOULD I INVEST IN AN AFTERMARKEET PRODUCT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXiceman Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) After having a class A with hydraulic levelers, our next class C did not have them. After two trips, we had the HWH system installed . Out last two 5ers have had auto Big Foot levelers. You can get by with out levelers and use plastic blocks if on a hard surface or 2 x 8 boards to level for all surfaces. We find that there are a fair number of sites that need blocks to get close to level. Lots of class C units, set a couple of inches low in the front and need to be be raised even on a level pad. Hydraulic levelers are very nice and expensive. I guess it depends on how lazy you are. Read your fridge manual and you will see that it has to be within so many degrees of level as operating off level will damage the RV fridge. Also, turn off the CAPS lock key. On the internet it is likened to shouting.

johnpeters Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) I was seeking a reasonably priced RV bubble level with a simple design when I came across this model. Despite their modest appearance, the two levels in the box enabled me to level my RV without any major issues or difficulties. As a result, I can state right away that this product is suitable for beginners. Edited October 30, 2021 by johnpeters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just place it in the center of the floor in the RV and check level front to back and side to side.
