thanks all, I have no problem getting the TT level, my concern was where to put bubble levels so that I could see them in the cab now that we have a motor home.

I found a place on the dash for the side to side level, and on the edge of the cab-over floor for the front to back level.

We have problems getting level in remote sites. The longest it ever took us to level was about an hour. (We strive for the half bubble in the site on the bubble level inside the refrigerator.) Of course it was surprising when we saw that it had taken us an hour to move the RV three or four times to get to a spot where we could use the leveling blocks.

We get out of the RV to see the levels on the side and back, shouting at one another to move this way or that, and sometimes getting disgusted.

For another $3000 or so we could get those fancy auto levelers but where is the fun in that? I bought two of the hoppy levels to stick on inside, but haven't taken the time to find a very level spot to apply them yet.

Good luck getting to leveling karma.

We're hooked!

Having lived on boats for years kind of level works for us. We usaly spend 4 or 5 min leveling. We have the hoppy levels were I can see them from the drivers seat but in the coach near the door (Right behind the passenger.) My wife stands by them and we both watch them as we ease thru the site. Pull back or forward until we find the best place. Read the bubbles and pull about a foot backward. Discuss what we are going to do.. Add what is needed and pull up on it. Then forget it. If the coffee cup stays on the table and we can walk around it in comfort its fine. Been doing it that way for 30 years. Never had a problem with the fridge...

Haven't located good spots and levels for cab in the 'C'. Not as easy as the old 'A' we had, as it had a more angular dashboard. Been in the 'C' now for 3 years. I try not to let it traumatize me.

I view level as Government work. Close? Close enough. We do have a dome type bubble that sits on the kitchen counter, to keep me honest.

Hand grenades and Horse shoes, ya know.
