Who here is able to level their RV 100% every time?
Wouldn't it make sense to be able to level your stoves independently from your RV?

My Stratus came with the Level-Made Pro installed. I leveled my trailer using a 4' bubble level on the floor and on the frame; then set the Level-Mate Pro to know when my trailer is 100% level. When I park in front of my house or in a campground I look at the Level-Mate Pro app to see how level or not is my trailer. If not level side-to-side I put level blocks under the wheels. If not level front-to-back I adjust my power tongue jack accordingly. At my house I know I need two levels of leveling blocks to get my trailer level side-to-side. At a campground I have to guess how many levels of leveling blocks I need. If two levels is not enough, and three levels are too high then I have to decide which number of blocks is closest to level. My sole purpose of leveling is so my refrigerator cools correctly. Secondary purposes are to ensure there's not a strain on my trailer frame when I extend the slideout, and to ensure I'm not sleeping with my head lower than my feet.

Hi dlakeman,
Thanks for the comment. My point was not about trailer leveling, but stove leveling. Most of the time it's difficult to get everything 100% level, and oil will pool in your pan on the side if you are not level, and the stove may not be level, even if your camper is. That's why I suggested that stoves should be able to be leveled independently.

I've see 2, 3, and 4 gas burner gimbled yacht stoves but they take up a lot of room. Guess you could loosen the existing stove mount bolts and use wood shims or those Formica sample pieces to level with.
Or drill and tap the top and put leveling screws there.

I can see having a levelers on the stovetop so your eggs don't come out elongated. With the floor, cabinets and countertops not level or plumbed from the factory some adjusting screws or something for the stove would be nice. Or just stick a sim in.

How about a leveling platform that contains both the refrigerator and the stove, independent of all else, as the fridge needs to be level even more than the stove. Best of both worlds.  |

Propane refrigerators have to be level within 3 degrees side to side and 5 degrees from front to ba vk and I don't mean the trailer the fridge or the ammonia can't circulate properly and becomes a ticking time bomb.
