What you need

Level my RV works on iPhones and iPads. Although you can use Level my RV on a single device, the App is best used when it can be loaded on two devices: one device will be placed on the floor of the RV to take leveling measurements, and the second device will stay with you as a remote viewer. This will allow you to make adjustments from your driver seat or from the tongue of the trailer while monitoring the RV level.

RV Settings

Level my RV will be able to tell you in inches or centimeters by how much you need to raise your tire(s) and by how much you need to raise or lower your tongue jack (for fifth wheel and travel trailer). To perform this computation, Level my RV needs to know the type of your RV (motorhome, fifth wheel, or travel trailer) and the dimension of your RV. Note that these settings only need to be adjusted on the device that you will put on the floor of the RV (the device that will take and send the measurements). To adjust the setting, open the App, select “Use this device as a sensor” and click on the gear icon located on the top right corner of the screen. Select your RV type and unit:

Once you RV type has been selected, enter the following measurements:

• For Travel Trailer:

  Enter the distance between your tire and the tongue jack (front to back):
  
  If you have a dual axle trailer, measure from the back wheel to the front jack:
  
  Then, enter the distance in between the two tires (side to side:
  
  

• For Fifth Wheel:

  Use the same measurments as for tarvel trailer, but make sure to meaure the distance in between the rear wheel and the front jack (not the king pin):
  
  

• For Motorhome:

  Enter the vehicle wheel base (front to back) and the distance in between the two tires.

Calibration (Optional)

Although not mandatory, it is recommended to calibrate the device that you plan to put on the floor inside the RV. If you have a case or if the device has a camera “bump”, it might not lay flat perfectly on the ground and this can introduce an offset in the measurement. So, the first time you use Level my RV, use a traditional bubble level (or any other means of monitoring the RV level) and level your RV the best you can. Once the RV is perfectly level to your liking, put your device on the floor or on a countertop in a convenient location, open the App, select “Use this device as a sensor”, click on the gear icon located on the top right corner of the screen, scroll down on the Settings page, and click on the “Calibrate” button. The App will capture and store the calibration offset. You are now ready to use Level my RV on your next trip (just make sure to use the same device at the same location each time).

Operation

When you are ready to level your RV, open the App and select “Use this device as a sensor”. Put this device inside the RV facing up on the floor (or on a countertop if you have calibrated that location).

• Fifth Wheel and Travel Trailer
  You will first need to adjust the trailer side to side. The App will tell under which tire to put block(s) and by how much the tire needs to be raised:

  

  If you only need to raise the tire by a small even amount (1 or 2 inches), simply use one or stack two square blocks (which are usually 1 inch thick). However, if you have a greater amount or an uneven number (for example 3.7 inches), the best is to use a curved leveler. You can adjust the lift based on how high you drive onto the levelers. This is where Level my RV is very useful. Open the App on a second device and select “Use this device as a display”. The second device will connect automatically to the first device (which is still inside the RV) and will display remotely the leveling measurements. With your second device in hand, simply back up on the curved leveler until the screen shows you that you are level side to side! Make sure to chock your wheels, and disconnect your tow vehicle. Now, it is time to level front to back. Once, again, Level my RV make this process very easy:

  

  Simply raise or lower your tongue jack while monitoring the level with the second device in your hand. Once the App displays a green check, you are all done!

• Motorhome
  The App will automatically find the wheel which it as the highest position (from pitch/roll data) and then set it at 0 on screen while translating all other wheels by the same factor. This means that you should just have to raise the remaining wheels (starting with the one which is the most off center):

  

  Open the App on a second device and select “Use this device as a display”. The second device will connect automatically to the first device (which is still inside the RV) and will display remotely the leveling measurements. With your second device in hand drive over blocks or use your jacks to level the RV.

TIP: If you are boondocking and do not need to park your RV in a very specific designated area, you can drive around (slowly!) with the second device in your hand to find a level spot.
