Leveling coach
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? Troy Tikalsky Waconia, MN 1986 Newell WB40 |

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. Paul 97wb43 --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "brad barton" <bbartonwx@...> wrote: > > I used the floor of the freezer.

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)!! Rich D.

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. Ernie Ekberg 83PT40 Livingston, Mt --front right jack, leaking ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
