Tips for Leveling Your Motorhome on Campsite
There's nothing as annoying as arriving at your campsite and being allocated an uneven pitch.
It affects your balance as you are in the vehicle (washing, cooking, brushing your teeth etc), water refuses to drain properly from your sink and what I find to be the biggest issue is the difficulty sleeping on an uneven surface.
The following discusses two pieces of motorhome accessories you need to avoid ever sleeping on an uneven surface again.
The first piece of equipment is quite obvious - a spirit level.
This will help you determine how even (or uneven) your motorhome is on the underlying surface.
Some modern motorhomes are equipped with a level, perhaps on the dashboard, to assist the driver find even ground.
I have a small level on my key ring that I place on the motorhome floor to determine how I'm doing in my search for level ground.
I suggest you keep a spirit level in your van at all times.
The second device you need is a set of under wheel leveling devices.
Similar to wheel chocks, that prevent the vehicle from rolling on a hill, these leveling devices are situated, as appropriate, under the wheels to level the vehicle.
Fiamma are the manufacturer with most products in the marketplace.
The Fiamma Grip System is a leveling device and an anti skid.
It's anti skid ability gives excellent traction to a vehicle on a soft wet field and gives you a great chance of your vehicle taking off in those slippery conditions.
This may save you waiting around for a kind farmer to provide a tow from his tractor.
The Fiamma Level Ups is the perfect device for levelling your vehicle.
It is ideal for both campervans and caravans, being suitable for large vehicles up to 5 tonnes.
It's super strong design provides three different height levels and it normally retails in pairs.
Buy four (one for each wheel) to be certain that you can level your motorhome on any ground.
These devices can be sourced from other manufacturers and are a better option that trying to use your rear corner steadies for a level stay in the campsite.
