Exactly.... It was bent terribly bad. When it was going down it was actually pushing the rig sideways and you could hear the tires on the opposite side skidding on the gravel. It slid off the little piece of wood they put down a couple of times.
Honestly, it was almost level just sitting there without the levelers deployed. Hard to see, but the tires on that side are off the ground!
I said hi to the fella the next day and come to find out he's actually from Sweden. He's been living in Texas for the past 20 years.
Being the wise-ass I can be sometimes I asked him if his first time camping. He said oh no we go all the time. Haha

I'm going to level with you...
Indeed a very "unique" view on what they consider level!  Weird thing is we just got back from weekend camping and there was a 5er leaning almost as much as this FR3 and also a Class C that was definitely pointed down hill as well. Maybe poised for a quick get away?  I have seen this before in campgrounds, and do not understand if this is just as good as they can do, or if they just don't really care. All the systems aren't going to work as they should with it this unlevel.  While I have electric stabilizers on the Windjammer, I use a 1' level to set it up so doors stay open or closed as they should and the AC units are level (important in Texas); I am admittedly detail oriented (others have a name for this also), and usually end up with a centered bubble.
We do indeed see some strange things in campgrounds! Why would it be any different than in the rest of the world?  Still funny photos, thanks for sharing.

Priorities
Beerbuggy, how did he get the leveler to retract with it bent like that?
I am also saddened that the fire pit is the only thing level...and is their laundry line on the ground or really low?

It has hydrolic levelers. Someone was inside working it I believe. He just bent it somehow and it was going in and out sideways.
That's just it... the firepit is level because the spot itself was already level. He would've been better off just not doing anything. Maybe put some pressure on them to take out the bounce, but that's about it.
hmmm the Laundry line... how do I say this without getting hammered by the politically correct. Lets just say the line was sort of level until they hung their swimsuites on there (they were a just a tad bit on the large side) that were dripping wet. You know how much water weighs!

The only thing more fun than watching some folks set up camp is a picnic at the boat ramp.

It was actually very hard to watch! I wanted to go and assist so very much! I'm just a tad bit OCD and it had me squirming all weekend!
