I'm a full timer. I live in my travel trailer. I'm currently set up in an RV park and am not nearly as level as you are. Everything works just fine and I don't even notice the little bit that it's off.


Yours is just in storage. Don't worry about it being a tad off level. What you've got now is fine.

Thanks again everyone for the feedback and advice. Safe to say the answer to this case is OCD

@Podivin - I will give it the ol water test just to see how it plays out.

@Old-Biscuit - I really like that idea. Simple and cheap

@Cumminsfan - Always appreciate the info. Do you think, or have you used the beech-lane camper levels for extended periods of time? The logic blue looks like it will be a nice add on. I will see about squeezing that into the budget over winter.

I've only had the Beach Lanes for this season. Longest stretch would be 4 nights of continued use. I don't think it would make any difference as far as time goes.
The other nice thing about the Level Mate is that I have the sending unit in the front passenger side storage compartment. When my wife gets out to help me back in she opens the storage door and turns the LMP on. Then I turn the LMP on my phone while inside the truck. I can see how level the spot is while backing up. Sometimes it's as simple as moving the TT forward or backwards in the site will get it level.

I have a set of Anderson levels. I just wasn't confident in them holding weight throughout extended cold winter months. I will look into those Beach lanes. Nice, they have a lifetime warranty and that matt that comes with it.

That is true. You could probably get it near perfect in a semi level campgorund with that method.

Since water seeks it’s own level I use the coffee pot cup measurement lines. It’s big enough that I can see it from outside the door when I set it on the counter.

I check for level using the floor of the freezer. If the fridge is level enough, and that's the one thing I am most worried about, then I'm fine when I'm using it.

Storage doesn't require level unless you're gonna leave the fridge running, but why would you do that?

Being OCD is fine, leveling a stored trailer won't hurt anything unless you forget to crank up the leveling legs before you move it again.

I can guarantee you that your S&B is no where near as level as that!
