Hi all, I’m pretty new to the camping world. I travel a lot for work so I picked up a 27MAV. It was brand new and went straight to the camp site. After traveling to my first site with concrete leveled ground. My friend pointed out that my trailer wasn’t leveled but was leaning one way even when off the hitch. It leans to the driver side or the right side. That is where most if not all appliances are. I wanted to know if this was normal? I did notice that I had a low tire pressure when I arrived to the site which resulted in replacing the valve stem, could a low tire on the drive have messed up the leaf spring somehow and resulted in the lean. I had my motorcycle in there 400Lbs but other than that it was empty. From the top of the tire to the bottom fender the difference from both sides is about 1/2” to 1/4” but my concern is the visual for it to be that noticeable.

I don't believe a low tire would have done anything to the springs. On the other hand, many of these towable RVs are much heavier on one side than the other. The Reflection 337 used to be as much as 700 lbs. heavier on the kitchen/driver's side than the other side.

I have a paper from Grand Design from the factory of the camper, it gives new lbs, hitch, empty, side to side lbs. One side is notably heavyer than the other because of whats on it.
 
Are your stabilizers down? If your auto level is not level you can recalibrate it easily. If your trailer is not level just sitting on the tires then that's a whole different problem.

With stabilizers down it does look a slightly better, but still noticeable lean. Inside with a level it shows it’s fine. But I assume like
most people are saying it’s because all of the cabinets and appliances on that side or so I hope.
 
I'll have to admit that I'm a bit confused by the fact that it shows to be level, but just looks unlevel. Have you physically measured all the corners and see if they show it's out of level, regardless of what the spirit level shows?

The 27MAV is a travel trailer and I don't believe it has auto-level.
