Leveling your Roadtrek
Leveling blocks
Roadtreks don't have or need the built-in leveling jacks and stands large
RVs have - it's usually easy enough to move back and forth in your
campsite until you're reasonably level. However, many Roadtrek owners
buy and carry leveling blocks for those places where finding a level spot is
difficult. These are available in most camping supply stores or can be
ordered online. They go under your tires, and can be stacked in various
combinations to lift the low corner or end of your vehicle enough to get
comfortable. Many Roadtrek owners install a small bubble level in an
inconspicuous place visible from the driver's seat to assist with the leveling
process.
How level is level? Refrigerators that run on propane require a fairly level
setting to operate properly, since the refrigerant relies on gravity to
circulate. Your unit has such a refrigerator. Check the manual for the
specific leveling requirements for your unit, but in general, if it's level
enough to be comfortable for you, it's probably good enough for your
refrigerator. Front-to-back leveling is more important than side-to-side
leveling. If you have a choice, it's better to have the front of the Roadtrek
very slightly higher than the back both for shower drainage and heat pump condensate drainage.
