One of the most important—and sometimes challenging—parts of owning an RV is learning how to level and stabilize it. After all, you want your RV to be level so that you and your family are comfortable while you're on the road. But leveling and stabilizing an RV isn't always easy, especially if you're a beginner. In this blog post, we'll give you some tips on how to safely level and stabilize your RV so that you can enjoy your travels.
The first thing you need to do when leveling and stabilizing your RV is to find a level spot. Once you've found a level spot, you'll need to use blocks or leveling jacks to raise the RV until it's level.
If you're using blocks, make sure to place them under the RV's wheels, not under the frame. If you are unfamiliar with the proper use of leveling blocks, visit ToGoRV.com for expert advice.
And if you're using leveling jacks, make sure they're properly positioned before attempting to raise the RV. Again, if you are not a seasoned user of leveling jacks, you can get expert advice at ToGoRV.com. Once the RV is level, use chocks to secure the wheels and prevent the RV from rolling.
Now that the RV is level, it's time to stabilize it. To do this, you'll need to extend the stabilizer jacks (if your RV has them) or set up tripod jacks (if your RV doesn't have stabilizer jacks). Once the jacks are in place, lower the RV onto them until they make contact with the ground. Then, use the jack handles to turn the jacks until they're tight. This will help prevent the RV from shifting while you're parked.
Leveling and stabilizing your RV doesn't have to be difficult—just follow these simple tips and you'll be good to go! If you need help finding a level spot or setting up your blocks or jacks, there are plenty of resources available online or at your local camping store. And once you get the hang of it, leveling and stabilizing your RV will become second nature. Happy travels!
