Some campers can be skeptical about investing in RV leveling systems. As time progresses, however, the realization of the challenges that come with parking on uneven ground often sets in. Adding a system is ultimately worth the cost when you weigh all of the outcomes. Here are a few of the complications you may face:
Parking an RV or camper trailer on an uneven surface for extended periods can lead to a torque effect, forcing the structure to distort from its usual position. Areas like the chassis, door frames, and plumbing endure stress, impacting the vehicle’s longevity and necessitating expensive repairs.
Doors might stop closing seamlessly, and water flow within the system could be compromised. Appropriate leveling eliminates these imbalances, fostering improved performance and longevity.
Slide-outs are fantastic additions that amplify space and convenience during your camping trips. However, their functionality thrives best on level ground. Using slide-outs on uneven surfaces can induce undue stress on the metallic parts and mechanisms, leading to potential repairs or a slide-out jammed in one position. RV leveling is crucial if your RV has slide-outs. Generally speaking, you will level your RV first, then run out the slides.
RV refrigerators are crafted to function optimally in a balanced, level position. A tilted parking spot can cause the refrigerant solution to pool disproportionately, resulting in overheating or freezing issues. Continual use in such a condition could eventually cause a complete breakdown of the refrigerator, and even an RV fire.
Parking on uneven ground can lead to inaccurate fluid gauge readings. Consequently, owners may mistakenly believe they’ve drained their black and gray tanks before heading back home, only to discover they haven’t. This can lead to a host of problems, particularly if the RV or camper is stored for a long period.
