3.1.5 PARKING, LEVELING AND BLOCKING
Try to pick a spot as level as possible on which to
park your motorhome. You may choose to drive in
or back in depending on your personal preference.
Remember, however, that all your utility connections
(water, sewer, electrical, etc.) are all located on the
left side of your motorhome.
It is important that you make sure your motorhome
is levelled correctly whenever you park, not only for
your own comfort but for the proper functioning of
your appliances such as your refrigerator. The vapor
cooling system can “lock up” and damage the refrig-
erator if it is not level. As well, the various water and
waste levels in the different holding tanks will have a
reduced holding capacity if not level. In addition, the
sewer drainage system needs to be level in order to
function properly.
Your motorhome is equipped with a Hydraulic Level-
ling System, follow the directions under Motorhome
Levelling in Section 9.2 of this manual to level your
motorhome. If not so equipped, use manual level-
ling jacks or leveling blocks to raise the lower end or
side of the motorhome to bring it to level. After your
motorhome is levelled, use wheel chocks or similar
devices in front or behind the wheels in order to
prevent your motorhome from rolling off the blocks.
When placing blocks beneath a set of dual wheels
make sure you block both tires so that the load is not
