Leveling coach - ttikalsky - 04-17-2007 16:54
I want to verify the leveling bubbles are accurate in my coach. The
leveling bubbles are located on the front dash. I believe that there
may be some flex in the coach at 40 feet in length. So today I leveled
the coach with the built-in bubbles then using a 12" level tried
various places throughout the coach. I tried the counter tops but then
the thought occurred that they may not be level so liquids flow toward
the sink if spilled. I set the level on the floor in several locations
and the readings were fairly consistent but not level. So the question
is what is the best way to verify the coach is level? Use the front
and rear bumpers or the interior floor nearest the refrigerator or?

I used the floor of the freezer. What really needs to be level and plumb is
the flame on your refrigerator. I always kept an 8" torpedo in the cabinet
next to the refrigerator.

Of course, the following is just my opinion...but.....
Why get so concerned about level. The refer is designed to work at any
angle that isn't uncomfortable for you and doesn't require absolute level.
Even if you got the floor level, would the refer installation be so
correct that it is level, and conversely?
My levelers haven't worked for a year and half and we boondock
extensively. Unless my head is down, I am comfortable, as is my wife
and our refer keeps working flawlessly.
I know it's hard for some people to not look at the cost of their RV
and it's associated maintenance and not get borderline fanatical, but
the refer level issue is not one to lose sleep over. Worry about your
tires and brakes, not the refer.
Just my 2 cents.

I agree with Paul, if the microwave door or other door such as the
bathroom, stays where you put it, that is plenty level enough. If you
don't notice an out of level condition, the refrigerator certainly
won't. Sometimes I make mine level, other times I make it more than
level (VBG)!!

For those of us with HWH Automatic leveling. The level sensor
has an accuracy of +/- 1" side to side and +/- 5.4" front to rear
on a 36' vehicle. This is "level" according to HWH.

Ernie's method of leveling. if the side bath door doesn't swing- she is
level. I have a house refer, anyway.
