I Merged 2 threads into this one and also deleted one, Please post only one thread per subject. Cross posting in several areas make it difficult to follow and search plus it is against the forum rules.

Hope you get your level issue solved, don't fret over a minute amout of being off unless it affects daily living.

Sorry about that, I was trying to delete the first post and couldn't find where to do it.

How long is that electronic level? My guess is it is very short and picking up irregularities in the flow. I would use a good 2-4' level, manual bubble are fine.

Levelling your trailer can be a head scratching, frustrating exercise. It would make my life a lot easier if all the interior doors were hung on the same side - that way they all would stay open instead of one of the 4 slowly closing on its own. It doesn't bother me, but it drives my wife crazy. And we all know Happy Wife = Happy Life.

What I do as a starting point is place a 4 foot spirit level on the kitchen floor and level the trailer fore to aft and side to side as best I can. Then I make small adjustments to the landing gear and/or "shims" under the tires to get the interior doors as synchronized as possible. Having the doors staying put usually means the stovetop isn't exactly level and my eggs slide to one side of the pan or the other. First world problems I guess.

Anyway, as others have mentioned, do whatever makes you and yours comfortable.

Good luck!

I used a 4' level just inside the entrance door. was acceptable for DW. As long as when I'm in bed, blood doesn't flow to my head. I also installed a magnetic door stop on the bedroom door. Bathroom door is a slider.

After owning an 1840's farmhouse for more than 30 years, you learn that level and plumb are relative terms. Get rid of the digital level. It will drive you crazy. Get it close enough on the floor and call it done. Of course, I also spend a lot of time on sailboats heeled over, so there is that and maybe you shouldn't listen to me.

Hello,
So my level says Im .4 off (nose down). I know it off cause when I have the Rear AC on and the winds blowing towards the nose of the trailer yet the water from the AC is dripping in the front and non in the rear, hopefully you get my description.

I don't know how long these digital levels are, but I would suggest a minimum length of 24"

I have a 5th wheel RD260. I use a level on the floor front to back near the middle of the rig. Then left to right on the floor near the middle of the rig.

The most accurate level in our rig is the stove.

If the butter doesn't stay in the middle of the frying pan, nothing else matters.
