Tips for Leveling Your Travel Trailer

Of all the steps for setting up your travel trailer at a campsite, few things are more important than leveling your rig. If your camper doesn’t have a hydraulic leveling system, you’ll have to use landing gear or blocks. It’s essential to know how to do this correctly because nobody wants to sleep on a bed that feels like it’s turned sideways. We have compiled some tips on how to safely level a travel trailer. Read on to learn more.

Check the Ground First

Before you start leveling your travel trailer, check that the ground is even and level enough to support your rig. Take a few minutes to look around the area and check for soft spots or uneven levels of grass that could cause instability. If it looks like it might be an issue, find a different spot or use some extra blocks or boards to even out the area before continuing with leveling.

Use a Leveling Tool

Leveling tools come in all shapes and sizes, but they all do essentially the same job – help you get everything leveled out and secure. Whether you choose a bubble leveler or one of those handy automatic levelers, use it to adjust each wheel until everything is even and secure.

Make Sure Everything Stays Securely in Place

Once you have your travel trailer leveled out, make sure that everything stays securely in place by chocking each wheel with wooden blocks. Additionally, if possible, try not to move your rig once it's set up as this can cause more problems.

Just remember to take your time and double-check that everything is firmly in place when leveling a travel trailer.
