Leveling your vehicle

Nomad Life Wiki

Leveling your vehicle can be important, especially for large vehicles like motorhomes. If you have a camper with slides or some older types of refrigerators, you need to make sure you are level before using them.

Sleeping when off-level isn't ideal, but some people don't mind a slight angle. If you don't need to level your entire vehicle, consider if it's possible to just level your bed.

Jacks

Consider attaching scissor jacks to the undercarriage of your vehicle at the proper lift points of the frame. When you get to your parking location, use a handheld drill to lower the jacks as needed. Note that scissor jacks become less stable as they reach full extension, so in areas where a lot of extension is needed, place more blocks on the ground under the jacks.
