    Large RV levels - whats good?

    To simplify my RV leveling when getting into a site, instead of stopping, getting out and opening the trailer and using my 3' level, then figuring out how to level. I wanted to place 2 large RV levels on the king pin. That way when I back in I can see the side to side situation, and then when running the front jacks, se when for aft is level.

    This one looks good with the bracket https://www.rvautoparts.com/6780-Whe...yABEgK23fD_BwE

    But I don't know about quality and accuracy

    What are folks using and how is the accuracy and level holding up over time.

    Thanks

    That level is fine, I have it, as do millions of 5th wheel owners. The camper does not have to be perfectly level prior to disconnecting, close is fine. The camper's leveling system will do the job from there.

    Or, LevelMate Pro. Works great for us TT guys who have to actually level our trailers instead of pushing a button.

    I even moved mine from my previous fiver (didn't have auto-leveling) to our new Solitude (does have auto-leveling). It's a great device and much less hassle than levels.

    Thanks Rob and others. I am not a fan of high teck Looking for something simpler that does not require power or me being smart after driving 10 hours. As I don't have auto level, just eyeball and 3 foot bubble level, I am looking for something these poor eyeballs can see that is durable and accurate (close enough a couple of turns on the stabilizer jacks will fix),
    Please keep the comments coming. I am putting together a black Friday list for DW

    Thanks again

    We have the big bubble level on our 303, in 5 years we have only had to readjust it one time so it holds it's position well. Having the little center front to back is also nice. It is just now starting to cloud up so a little clean up with plastx should bring it back to clear.

    This is the one I had on my last 5th wheel and I just installed one my new 340RDS. I have been using this level for the last 3+ years and haven't had any issues with it. Just make sure the rig is perfectly level and that you can clearly see it from inside the truck when you drill into the pin box during initial installation and you'll be good to go. Unfortunately, I didn't account for the center headrest in the backseat when I installed it this time and it's partially blocked. Didn't have one there in my old Ram and can't seem to figure out how to remove it yet in this new truck.

    I haven't seen any issues with accuracy when I've done an occasional "sanity" check on it. Sure makes setup fast and simple using it and the Anderson levelers under the wheels.

    I have, and use, a turning point pin box. I assume that a level on the pin box would only be accurate when the pin box is straight with the trailer? Can you still see the level if mounted on the trailer itself?

    You can see the level but just like the one on your pin box, unless you are straight to it you will not get a good accurate view. I can see the bubble clearly when almost straight in my rear view mirror but not at an angle.. Once stopped I slide to the center of the truck to get a dead on view as a last check.
