Slight incline at camp ground

How can it be answered? Then you ask "What type of campers...", you talking about the RV itself or the RVer?

well yes the rv itself.

Well that is where I thought the statement was odd... the RV does not care about a slope, more so the absorption reefer, but the RVer could. Myself, I need my head at the same or slightly higher than my feet when I sleep, I do notice the slightest tilt.
Now back to you referring to the RV minding the slope, if you have a bubble level and over one foot, you had to raise the level end one inch on the longitudinal axis of the RV, then on a 30 foot RV, one end would need to raise 30 inches from the other. That is how slope could affect and RV.... not that it actually minds, mind you.
Just like the photos in post #22, in that instance, I would have parked in the other way so it would be less precarious.

My small Class A is always 3" low in the front which is no big deal but the other day I found it to be an advantage at a site that was on an incline, I just turned around with the front pointing uphill which reduced the amount I needed to block to a minimum, the other way I could never have done it.

I don't mind plugging in. even if that #$%% 50 amp cord weighs a ton. But those sewer lines. Oh my aching knees and back. And I have two drain ports. Lol

.... just wondering .... do you always carry concrete blocks with you? That would be a rariety. I wouldn't stay on that site and go through the leveling with that many concrete blocks. Ridiculous! I assume since a car is parked there you're either a local seasonal or you have two drivers when moving.

I saw a fiver at Isle Du Bois Park above Dallas, Tx that looked like right after they got to the site (maybe before if they had the same site before), they took a trip to Home Depot for all the cinder blocks and lumber.

They might have been volunteers at the park as they also had a lot of "stuff" long termers would have.... so picking an extremely unlevel site for the location most likely took priority

This site has lots of slope, high in the back and low in the front. Doesn't show well in the pic but you can see the erosion to give you an idea of how the water has been flowing thru it. I put all the blocks I had under the front tires and was still a couple of inches or more shy of being level, but it worked for the one night i was there. Last site, Bessy Campground, Nebraska Nat Forest, Halsey, NE after the solar eclipse.

This is why I carry a little shovel, very handy to dig in the high side.
Refill hole on the way out.

not asking how to level the rv.

I was surprised this summer when staying at Prairie Flower Army Corp Campground in Des Moines, Iowa.
Some of the sites would be unusable for me. I got lucky and got one that was ok.
Look at my video, some of the sites are very steep and unlevel for a larger RV

Funny how these threads drift all over the place, huh?

The longer the rig the more a front to back pitch is going to affect it. Physics. Much greater distance from wheels to jacks.
