Leveling Your RV – In 4 Easy Steps

Once you’re in your spot, it’s time to level. Before entering your RV, you must stabilize and secure your unit. We’ve created a quick and easy 4-Step process. You will need the following products; Interlocking Leveling Blocks, Scissor Jacks, Wheel Chocks, and a Power Jack, or manual Tongue Jack (Your RV came with one of these two products included).

1. LEVELING BLOCKS

The trailer’s wheels are backed onto one layer of levelling blocks on each side to help prevent sinking into the ground. If the lot is uneven, side to side, additional layers of leveling blocks should be added to raise the lower side to be level with the higher side. For tandem axle trailers we recommend a minimum of 2 bags of blocks.

 

2. WHEEL CHOCKS

Once level, each side, chock the wheels to prevent rolling and increase stability. (Equally great for stopping wheel movement when changing tires)

You can now disconnect from the tow vehicle.

 

3. POWER JACK

Front to back leveling is now done using the front-end Power Jack. Levelling blocks can be used under the front-end jack(s) to better disperse the weight and shorten the stroke length for increased stability.

 

4. SCISSOR JACKS

The corner stabilizer Scissor Jacks are then each lowered on to leveling blocks. These jacks are only to stabilize and are not designed to raise the trailer or support weight. The only exception to this would be trailers equipped with auto-leveling systems.
