We are going on our first mini trip next week. HORRAY!!
One project is to install a level on the pin box and one on the side of the camper near the leveling jacks. I have not done this at home because it is nowhere near level. Right now, measured on the kitchen counter with a 4 ft level, the left side is 2 ? inches low over 8 ft FW width. Measured on the floor as far forward as there is floor, the left side is only 1 inch low. obviously, the frame is a bit torqued now.
When installing the level on the pin box, where do you measure level? Counter top? Front edge of the camper? Pin box? Before or after unhitching? (3 point contact or 4 point contact with the ground) Obviously, this will be my reference for all future trips.
The level on the side - measuring front to back - this must be done after disconnecting. Is your reference point the kitchen counter? Floor inside door? Some point on the chassis or frame?
I figure if I get this right the first time, getting level setups in the future will be much easier!
Thanks for your input.
