No air leveling system?

Wood cribbing would be the easiest and most economical. Takes up a lot of space. If you get the itch, get a 12v dump trailer pump/tank combo add a couple hydraulic cylinders, run lines, make floor pads. Hydraulic leveling system. Tada.

That’s an awesome idea !!

Believe it or not, my monaco coach uses a dump trailer 12v hydraulic pump unit. It's plumbed to a distribution manifold with three solenoid valves that you control through a little panel in the coach. 2 cylinders in the rear, one in the front and it will lift the entire coach off the ground if you wanna really work it. I used to do hydraulics professionally for a number of years if you need pics off the coach, of the cylinder setup or anything let me know.

That would be great sometime when you’re free . We’re currently camping and having a blast . Can’t seem to get water pump running and couple other little things but nothing that will stop us from having a great time .
 
If you're on dirt, a spade shovel works great. Dig a hole on the high side and drive in. It also really helps to stabilize things (especially trailers). For our 5th wheel, I prefer to dig a hole if possible instead of using ramps.

anderson we use these. don't know if you can find them on a shelf somewhere. work amazing and super easy. they will only get you side to side though. i didn't even think you could order an rv without some kind of leveling system.....
 
It’s a 1997 I have the original order sheet and for whatever reason no leveling system . However , it took about 5 minutes to get it plenty level with the ramps and chocks. The only thing I would add is stabilization jacks . We have had a great time , we discovered a couple very minor leaks in torrential downpour last night but overall she has been amazing for no more than I have invested .

Motorhome not a travel trailer, ton of bad advice in here.

Go to chinaworld get a bunch of the drive on blocks. Camco and whatnot. FYI the honeycomb ones will sink on grass, soft surfaces. So with the other kind, but less.

Eyeball it, drive on, adjust, repeat.

Stabilzers do just that, they are not for leveling. They stop the trailer from shaking when you go to the English dollar store in the back.

Even the fancy pnuematic jacks need cribbing on soft ground, and it's probably a no-no as far as the factory is concerned.
 
i've got hydraulic leveling jacks on mine. It was surprising to lean that people (factories) put "stabilizing" jacks under motorhomes :confused: :confused:

seems like a massive waste of time for those tiny things. Granted, I carry plenty of wood for my jacks otherwise they like to sink and half of them need help getting pointed down these days, but sure is easy for the many times when I otherwise wouldn't bother with cribbing.

the hydraulic jacks take enough weight that i'm not particularly concerned about parking brake either. once she's sitting on the jacks, she's staying there. Sure, the brake gets set anyways but that's just a courtesy.
