I didn't see any threads on this so maybe I'm doing something wrong. When I park, I level the camper, put stabilizers down but when I extend slides, the trailer leans about an inch toward the slides. It is not always the exact same measurement so i can't automatically adjust each time I park. I put the stabilizers down until the motors stop, so i can't put anymore pressure on them. Am I doing something wrong? I guess this is to be expected since all 3 slides are on one side, but I haven't seen anyone discuss this.

Are the stabilizers sinking into the ground on that side when the slide outs extend? If so, adding a board or lego style block under the stabilizers to spread the load may help. I have a feeling that as the slides extend, the clearances (or slop as it is sometimes called) on the opposite side of the slides, in the springs, stabilizers, and other components are removed. The tire load on that side decreases, and the tire sidewalls push up that side, also. On the slide side, the tire load increases and compress the sidewalls. You may have to make a best guess at how unlevel the camper needs to be set, before extending the slides.

I have two slides outs on the driver side and it tends to drop on that side another 1 to 1.25" after extending the slides out. Not sure if you have this in your trailer or not, but I have the level mate pro installed. This allows me to see where the trailer is low or high via their app. What I do is ensure my passenger side is lower by 1 to 1.25" during set up to offset this. 9 times out of 10, the trailer is leveled perfectly when I extend my slide outs. Just one way of doing it. |

Hello, I always have the head of my bed high. In our 302 VRB the driver side is always 1 inch higher when parking. The Furion 12 VDC fridge does care about level like old absorption fridges used too.
