My travel trailer does not have an auto levelling and I never care to level my trailer unless it is so tilted where I would fall off my bed.
But I was wondering , what is the importance of having RV parked levelled ? Does it have to do with water channeling during rain ?
I park my RV in my front yard for 5 years rain and shine, and it is always tilted down on the front because my front yard climbs / slope upward a little bit. I back in my RV, so the front part of the RV is facing the street.
I felt a small soft spot/crackling on the roof (1 foot by 1 foot) in the very back of the RV , I wonder if it's because of this.
But if my RV is always tilted down ward in the front, then if there is any soft spot on the roof , it should have been in the front part of the RV right ?
My original thought was : let the RV tilt downward in the front, so rain water rush down in the roof towards the front of the RV, and does not have a chance to pool on the roof. But maybe this is a bad idea.
But then there is also snow, 10-12 inches of snow can sit on the roof for days.
It baffles me though, why there is soft spot on the very back of the RV ?
I checked on rubber roof on the 1x1 soft spot , it is solid, and thick. I do not see holes .
