    Leveling

    Has anyone determined the degrees out of level you need to be before the auto level system lifts a tire off the ground? It’s a pita to find the need to add blocks after unhooking and pulling the truck away.

    Why would you be concerned? It does no harm to have a tire or two off the ground. Unless your owner's manual expressly forbids it anyway.

    That's why we use the Levelmate Pro+. I can see which side of the coach need to go up to level it side to side, before unhitching.

    Yes! And that’s my question: how much out of level before blocking is needed. Good to know before unhooking.

    I lay a carpenters level across the floor just inside the door. If it's more than a half bubble off I drive it up on Linx blocks then auto level. I also put 5 Linx blocks under the rear pads to make sure I don't over-extend the jacks and cause the system to lock up.
    My wife tells me i'm a half bubble off all the time.

    If mine is 1"-2" out of level, side to side, I'll use the Anderson level rockers to bring that side up the needed height. If it's more than that, I try to find a place on the pad that gives me that difference, or less.

    Keep in mind I have 5ver, not a travel trailer. With the electric jacks on my trailer, I did, accidentally, raise it off the tires on one side.

    Shoot, I don't even have a level anymore.

    Does it say in the manual not to have a tire off the ground? I've read through my manual, and I don't believe that was mentioned anywhere.
    Or did I overlook it?

    It doesn't, but understanding physics, I prefer not to invite Murphy to my camping trips, even though he seems to come along anyway.

    I’ve seen it stated rather strenuously, not to have the tires off the ground.
