Does anyone level their camper?
Been noticing lately that a lot of people back in/ pull into their sites and don't seem to level their camper left to right. We are always trying to get it as level as possible. Boards, tri leveled whatever's needed. Just curious.

Always level side to side....Unless were boon-docking for one night at a Walmart, or a stop & go at a BLM or Forest Service campground. Just leave it hooked up.
But I have noticed like where we were this past week a bunch of RV trailers not level "front to back". It was like they unhooked, and didn't own a level and just left it high ended. Or maybe they like having their eggs rolling down the counter top.

We always level. But like mentioned if it's a quick overnight and latter in the evening we just roll with it if it's close enough.
I know what you mean though. I've seen some pretty goofy level jobs. Like really nose high stuff.

I'm on my second Dometic 4-door. I level METICULOUSLY every time I stop to camp and I check level every morning. I refuse to go thru all that replacement AGAIN.

I always level if it is needed. About half of the campsites we stay in are good enough. I use this from the drivers seat to know if additional leveling is needed. If necessary I use Andersen levelers.

I always level side to side and front to back. I have Anderson levels, a shovel, and leveling blocks for side to side. Front to back I have an 11" tongue extender with an upgraded tongue jack so that I never have an issue there. I prefer to keep my fridge operational and the plumbing flowing the right way.

Echoing everyone else. Side to side, front to back. I hate walking or sleeping in an uneven camper. Use a 4’ level and get within a 16th of a bubble at the very least.

We level every time, except when overnighting in a rest area or truck stop.
