Leveling the Isata FW manually

[RolandRevenger]

Has anyone figured out how much, in inches, the FW tilts to the slide side, even with the Big Foot stabilizers down? Manually leveling it is a challenge; in addition to the slide-caused tilt, the stabilizers raise the back end. I would like to avoid having to bring the slide back in in order to move off the blocks when I have to change the amount I raise it. Any tricks you can share?

I keep a short bubble level in mine and use it on the kitchen counter. I have re leveled mine with the slides out by starting the engine and pushing the auto button again

I also use a small bubble level on the kitchen counter.

Does anyone use slide stabilizers on their full wall slide? Just to reduce the rocking when you first sit in the dinette?

I wish I had automatic levelers.... unless they weigh too much and reduce cargo capacity. I have to use leveling blocks; may require several tries , of driving back and forth, to get the rig 'close enough' to level. I was using a small bubble level; I placed it right in front of the fridge on the floor since I think that is the most important area to insure is level. I recently downloaded , for free, a neat application from Truma. We don't have their water heater, but anyone can use the application. You use your phone as the level;the application tells you how much each wheel is 'off level', in inches. Then I have a better idea of how many blocks to use under the wheels that need to be raised. I am still experimenting with it, but it seems to work well. I have yet to use it to level our rv with the slide in, and then check to see how much the slide has caused that side to tilt. I hope to be able to routinely add that figure to the left side wheels when adding blocks to compensate for the slide tilt.

I use Anderson levelers to get side by side level and then level everything else.,also never use slide braces in case of a flat tire.. you could do to much damage to your slide.
