How To Stay Level Headed In A Motorhome

[@matambale]

On my Dad's motorhome, he stuck a bubble level on the dash and under the driver's side window, and we had a few pine boards to drive up on if he couldn't find a level parking spot. If I remember this right, you couldn't use any of the gas appliances without being level. Guessing this was because the flame of the pilot light wouldn't reach the thermocouple, so they'd not stay lit.

Being a cheap skate 31 years ago when we first got a motorhome, I bought a cheap £1-50 tee shaped plastic spirit level. I got some flooring joist off cuts (9" X 2") and with a chainsaw cut them to about 18" long with a ramp cut on one end, I made two of these and two about a foot long, and I've been using them ever since. It works well just park put the level on the floor to get an idea of how far out you are, and where the low wheels are if its too far stick a block or two down and drive up and on them, only takes a couple of minutes. My total outlay £1-50 Those automatic levelling system is brilliant all levelled up in a few seconds (a friend has it fitted) but apart from the cost, its the weight thats the killer.

A level motorhome means that your cooking oil will cover the entire skillet so you're not frying things on one side of the pan!!! I'm sure Mazzy knows what I'm talking about.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We use the bedroom door, if it will stay open, that'll do. We have had the same chocks since 2003!

[@georgepetter7111]

Yep Chocks away a block of wood wedge shaped pulled away with string. We use levelling ramps on our van much better to use for levelling. 🤔

[@lolavan7750]

If we're going to be pedantic it's not, "there not" but they're not.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

@@MakeDoAndMend1 You are completely correct, they're not chocks they are levelling ramps. I've corrected it for you.

[@TravelTrollsTV]

Type in motorhome chocks and see what comes up. We showed our chocks...or levellers in the video so they will know what they look like.

[@PK_Blinder]

Just park up and pour a John Smiths into a pint glass and put it on the table..... If the head looks level with the top then drink it.... If it doesnt look level then still drink it and youre legally not allowed to move 😉

[@DottyGran247]

This video is great on so many “levels” 🙂 😇👍

[@peterneal7160]

Very informative and a different take on the subject! about 50% of the time will you be perfectly level. As you say 'Near enough is good enough'. Another reason for being as level as you can, apart from the fridge working better, is sink plug holes, the water may not drain away properly! All fluids find their own level!! Of course the cheapest way to level up is let your tyres down as required and that will do the Trick 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Er you just might need to buy a pump though!!!! 😉😉 Level Headed brilliant Mazzy!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@juliepownall1063]

Hi dan and mazzy thanks take care keep warm

[@stuartrich2499]

We have found the phone is not very good and a spirit level is better guide. You are right about the feel factor though!! You can use the thick end of the chock as a wedge under the wheel to stop it rolling.

[@craigjones325]

I don't have a motorhome but still found the vid. very informative.👍

[@elpresidente8730]

Put a piece of scaffolding plank under your wheel ramps it will give you that extra bit of height.

[@TravelTrollsTV]

no need...we have ramps.

[@nickdunn5723]

Hope you are both well❤️

[@TravelTrollsTV]

As well as can be 🙂

[@Inconito237]

I call them levelling ramps and I call chocks the small plastic triangular wedge you put under wheel to stop movement on ramp. Maybe I'm wrong 😂 Your not far from Filey, any chance of a Vlog from there?

[@ShazzAnne]

No your right, they are levelling ramps.Chocks are put under the back of the wheel to stop you moving backwards.

[@TravelTrollsTV]

No chance. Too far to walk.

[@tobythorpe5441]

what a great video Dan and mazzy xxxxxx

[@dogsbollocks9166]

what about an update on your tuning box STAY SAFE

[@robclague8495]

I used a small cheap spirt level on my van, important to be level for many reasons, but mostly important to have a night's sleep.

[@shelleybean1112]

Love you guys I love camping but I hv a cochlea and vertigo so I need level or I ca t even walk 😁 love Dan nd Mazzy x you both need to work together and balance 🌟 things to make things work together 😁

[@mortenthenorwegian2875]

Hi guys! I had hydraulic leverers. They failed half the time. Not worth the money. A scissor jack upside down attached to the frame and battery drill can make it easier.

[@TravelTrollsTV]

Interesting. Thanks for your input.

[@brianmcclure8012]

Jesus - I'm sitting in a quality built Swiss Apartment and according to that app, my table in apartment in 3cms off the level 😱😱😱

[@twinsgran]

I like a nice choc. Dairy Milk especially!

[@JonSpink]

Id love to see more on the camping related apps you use. theres so many to choose from it would be good to see which ones are worth trying

[@TravelTrollsTV]

Ill try to review them.

[@janetkennedy119]

Love seeing the apps Dan

[@johntuohy8617]

In mine there is a small spirit level in the cab just in front of steering wheel Its just abour 2 inches in length

[@furface9779]

app is good but it has to be calibrated with a spirit level on first use, the van floor is where you test not a table, the apps use a lot of battery even when not in use. but it's more for rookies

[@TravelTrollsTV]

But our table is level and our floor is wonky. Wasnt when we got it, l just made it like that so l wouldnt have to bend down to level the van 😄

[@mbjac]

How very entrasting

[@wtbm123]

Cool

[@michaelhodges2448]

Only thing if you don’t level your van up you end up sliding off your bed and it might affect your fridge

[@mommunson]

Mazzy is on a roll🤣🤣🤣

[@KenWilmes]

People like us with tow-behind campers need to be level or the doors will pop open, especially in cold weather.

[@hurnethehunter]

Automatic leveler's, how heavy would they be, you would have less wight you would be able to carry...

[@noneofurbiz226]

i level cuz not leveling the fridge can start a fire, i've seen an entire RV sellers warehouse burn to the ground because of it

[@cupcake3720]

Even though it was a short video another good video. I love all the puns you know joking about spirit Spirit Level as the jokes you made about all of that. I think puns is the right word. its like when somebody says no pun intended hopefully you get what I'm trying to say I'm sorry good videos though
