Leveling with 2 slides on same side

[aceinspp]

When I had two slides on one side with V-lite I would always put a 2x6 on the slide side as 99% of the time that side of camper always low. Next run stabilizer jacks down then put out slides. Almost level every time. Later RJD

My Rockwood has 2 slides on one side; 1 on the other. Even when on a gravel bed the two slides will cause that side to gradually settle and since that is the side the head of our bed is on, I set up that side high.

One addition...we always put 2x8s under each wheel (except on a concrete pad) then add a 5/4 (1")x8 under the wheels on the slide side....works of us

Less of this discussion will be seen as more new TTs with auto-level are sold. I have 3 slides on 1 side and one on the other side of a 43' 5er. I hit the auto-level button and put out the slides. Checking again the worst I've found is 0.1 degree out either or both directions.

I think I like the idea of the Anderson Camper Leveler.

. If it works the way it does in the video I see leveling as they show, running out the slide and adjusting without pulling off of the leveling chocks. It can't be that easy.......

One word of caution, as I own a set of these leveling blocks. This may be a n ok plan if leveling 1 to 3 inches, but rolling over that a 4th inch allows the trailer to drop 4 inches very quickly. Would never want that bounce to happen with the slides out.

I have owned two sets of these levelers. They work really well for three or four times, but I've had both of mine break when rolling off of them. I thought maybe the first time could be my fault so I gave them a try again. I've reverted back to the good ole blocks after the second one broke.

We have a 2017 Salem 326RL which is a triple slide unit. The two slides which extend the furthest, approx 3-0' are both on the same side which makes that side of the trailer much heavier. With the 4 point stabilizer system, the heavy side will settle about 1/2 bubble on my stick on level attached to front of the trailer. I have learned to use my Andersen levelers and raise the heavy side 1/2 bubble high FIRST, then put down stabilizers and extend the slides. This has worked for us many times on different types of surfaces without problems. I would not move your trailer with the slides extended. Too many alignment issues can happen.

On smaller campers with individual scissors jacks, one can sometimes take a little more weight off the springs to raise the low side slightly, but this is not possible with the 4-point system.

Another app is Clinometer. It has both a inclination and bubble level. The inclination helps set up satellite dishes and the bubble level does just that. I also use the clinometer for rough carpentry to get cut angles.
