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? In general, if it's level enough to be comfortable for you,
it's probably good enough for your plumbing. If you have a choice, it's
better to have the front of the Roadtrek very slightly higher than the back
for air conditioner condensate drainage. If you're not running your air
conditioner, it doesn't matter.
