how do I install those level bubles you have,I don't have them.
RV levels can be found on Amazon here - amzn.to/2L5yWz4. pretty cheap and they stick right on.
Thank You....
SSLFamilyDad We need to add levels to our TT as well, buying and sticking them on is easy. How do you know you’re TT is level before affixing them?
Use a regular level and hold below the bubble level when you stick it on
You just made my life easier....you're videos are plain, simple and to the point!!
finally someone who did it by themselves. thank you
I was just trying to do this and had no idea. Excellent video! Almost ruined my stabilizer jacks. My old man tried to explain it over the phone but I just couldn't get it. Kudos, sir.
I like your video simple right to the point other videos trying to promote sell you crap you don't really need thx again for video
Now all i need is a camper, looking into it.... Peace, God Bless America.....
Very professional. Cute Daughter.
What a great video thank you. Just got our first trailer tent and been practicing today prior to our first family camping trip. Ours came with lots of chocks, blocks and wedges
Good one... simple direct and honest!
Those outside levels sure make it easy...might have to get some of those. We've been using those little round bubbles that we put inside the refrigerator.
Thank you! I just got a new-to-me popup camper and leveled it in my garage using the stabilizer jacks! Thankfully I'm only repairing the roof at this point and haven't opened the slide outs. I have seen the error of my ways and adding this to my newbie playlist!
This is super handy. I’m hoping to actually go FT by the end of year. Haven’t settled on a rig yet. Idk if I want a class b, van, or one of those really light pull behind trailers. Definitely not a tear drop. Since gonna be FT I’d like to be able to stand up. But being female with disabilities I don’t want too big either. We’ll see. TFS. God Bless ~ Lisa
awesome information! Thank you!
Great job explaining why you don’t use stabilizers to level your camper. Most other vids say don’t do it but never explain why.
Unfortunately I had to learn the hard way. Lol I tried to cheat a little and use my stabilizer jacks to level my travel trailer and my main entry door wouldn’t shut or the screen door & main door would separate when I opened it.
Fortunately I learned my lesson before I damaged something. I guess I’m kinda smart like that. Ha yeah right
Thank you so much !! You make it look so easy !!
So ,glad you shared m
Looking forward to your deer vs pumpkins. My 30’ by 100’ patch is getting ate
Very well explained 👏 👌 👍
You make that look easy.
Good info 👍
easy and usefull tks buddy
Man that camper is a 90’s model? Wow it’s in great shape
This was a really good video
Hey... I am new. I have a POP up and i try to get a site that is flat. But this has helped.. Now I just got to get it right... Thanks. I think i need to get the stablizing jacks replaces.. since they dont keep my pop up stable...:(
Great video thanks so much! We went to lift our newly purchased rock wood pop up camper tonight for the first time and after 10 secs a loud “clunk” sound then again a few sec later. Then when bringing down it almost seemed to drop on its own a bit while making the same loud metal on metal sound. The manual said to put the stabilizers down first (although everywhere else we’ve seen say to put those down last) and we mistakenly raised one corner some to level using the stabilizer. Worried we broke the cable! Do you know if using the stabilizers to level could have caused this? Thanks a ton for any help!
Thank you. I’ve got an older pop up and I’m always having trouble getting it leveled. I put some bubble levels on but it I didn’t use a regular level to start out with. Duh 🙄 lol. The door is always a problem getting it to work right. I was using the stabilizer jacks to help level it.
I used to do the same thing with our old pop-up and it always messed up the door. Use boards under the tires and go light on the stabilizer jacks and you'll be good to go
SSLFamilyDad thanks for the response.
Thanks for the Great info!!! Hope you have a blessed trip.
I have a pop up that I bought used and of course no “instruction manual”...I would love to know how to use the different systems. How does the hot water heater work, the water pump, gas systems, toilet, etc.??? A lot of videos out there assume a person already has some knowledge of this stuff!
I love your channel it's always helpful thank you so much and I love scripture at the end. I was wondering do you have any suggestions I live in a bus how would I level the back to front?
I would say shims under the wheels would be best. Pull in, figure out level then pull up on wood to level it out.
How long and wide of a board is this you used for underneath the trailer tires ?
I'm looking to level a trailer that isn't meant to move once it is in place. Is there anything different from what you showed here that I need to do for this effort? I'm looking forward to seeing the winterising video. Thank you.
I bought a horse stall pad (Hard rubber with grooves) and cut it up into large squares/rectangles. They fit perfectly under tires, stabilizers and tongue jack. They will literally last forever. They stack and store nicely. Will not rot like wood. Will not crack like plastic. About an inch thick. ...best investment I ever made for my travel trailer.
that is an excellent idea!
Go ARMY! :) Ha ha!
1:30 -- "Come on, Daddy. Quit yammerin' on already. I wanna get our camper cleaned up so we can start our vacation!!"
:-) thanks for the info
lol, that is pretty much her exact thoughts I am sure!
Is that a 2x4 or 4x4 your tongue jack is resting on? Newbie here. Great info.
I am also from Michigan, and I have a 30 ft Dutchman trailer. I am going to be putting on a seasonal site @ Lake George. How do you recommend leveling and bracing for a permanent site? I will be leaving the RV all year round.
Keep the tires off the ground up on some planks. And just make sure it gets winterized well
Good info brother! My young daughter likes your kitty.
She/I want to know how many cats are at your farm?
We have two cats that basically live in and around the garage and two cats that are 'barn cats. They pull their weight around here by catching lots of mice!
I bought a 1984 28 ft Fleetwood. Can you please please help me I've never had a camper so long. 1st my camper is behind a fence already so not hooked to truck. I'm going to live in it while fixing my home that was vandalized (plumbing and electric wires ripped out etc) when I put level across tounge it shoes level but put a level inside camper up front and it shows quite a bit unlevel. Does that mean the frame or floor has gotten twisted some how? Same is true for back of camper outside shows level inside not. Kind of a line in the world and could use some advice. I would appreciate it more than i can even say. I think i can see the ground is higher on one side than the other but??? I did not know you just level at wheels and tongue. It sits how i backed it into yard. Thinking I shouldn't of reset my fence posts so I could hook it back up. Thank you any advice would be amazing. God bless
One of the things that is effected by level is the refrigerator so I would be more concerned that the inside counter and fridge are level. It sounds like something on the frame is bent
Haaaahaaaa, that old bubble still work? My levels was all long gone a long time ago. I guess them thar Prowlers are solid? I got one of them farm boy made Coachmen 28' jobs with 4 wheels. When I got it NEW in 2007, the tires were old then. I'm giving my travel trailer away this month to my daughter. This Coachman was a piece of junk. I got it all repaired and the daughter will have a used one. I told her to sell it. My brother has an old Prowler. It was better than mine. TEAGARDS...
If I set up to level my slides leak. I go a bit up pitch so my a/c drains well and the water flows back and not in.
Yup we did that sometime also, pitch it to the back or one side a tiny bit for the ac to drain
My popup camper level bubbles don’t work will a level on the tongue work ok
Yeah that should work ok, or even on the floor just inside the door
VERY COOL
Where are you in Michigan?
Lower peninsula:)
Ok
Go green
Wow you hardly put any pressure on those stabilizing jacks... like none at all.. that things gotta rock all around the place. I get you don't lift the rig with them but you can put a little bit more pressure on them than that lmao
