Leveling Your Trailer
Leveling your RV is critical for
several reasons. Your camping
experience will be more pleasant in a
level unit. It is important for your RV
to be level for proper operation of
items such as the refrigerator, the
slideout system and draining tanks, if
applicable.
Using blocks under the RV tires is a common way to level the unit. Blocks for this purpose
can be purchased from various RV resources or made out of wood. The proper size of
blocks are required to prevent causing damage to the tires. Make sure the blocks used
cover the entire footprint of the RV tire. Refer to Fig. 5 for proper tire blocking.
Additional Set Up
STABILIZER JACKS
1. Insert the crank onto the stabilizer jack shaft.
2. Turn it clockwise to lower the jack. Continue lowering the jack until the frame of the
trailer begins to rise slightly.
3. Equalize the jacks for best support. This may require that you adjust each jack
several times. When not parked on cement, you may wish to place a wood or hard
plastic block under the jack for convenience.
I
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE STABILIZER JACKS TO LEVEL THE
UNIT. It is important to remember that the stabilizer jacks are to be used
only for support while occupying and moving around the trailer. They are
not designed to bear the weight of the trailer.
