Just back from a little trip.


For years I have used the free app RV Companion Lite for it's leveling app.
It is good.


Recently I heard that the free Truma app has a leveling option.


It is also good- maybe faster and quicker to respond.


Both of these require you to enter the wheelbase and track ( Truma has cm and inch options in setup), then a quick easy calibrate when parked level.


Both will tell you which corner(s) need to come up to make level.


Easy cheat, if the app says bring 3 corners up 2 inches... try scraping a 2" hole for that 4th corner instead.



This trip was camping at Mather CG Grand Canyon- it was 25º cooler than Phoenix and we took some friends who are inexperienced campers- we threw our old tent and other stuff from our pre-B days and had a great time.

This time of year, midweek, the CG is about 1/2 full ( empty).
AZ kids are back at school so fewer family groups. Many Int'l and many in rental RV's trying to figure out dump station- always happy to help.


Mather CG has a huge central shower/ laundry complex- super clean and open almost 24 hours.

Shuttle buses service the CG and the various points and trailheads.


All sites are paved , some are pull throughs or pull overs most sites have tall ponderosa pines for shade.
Flush toilets.

Mule deer and elk might stand by the water taps waiting for you to give them a drink.



Always good and fun to watch someone's reaction to first sight of the Grand Canyon.
 
In a lot of the state and federal campgrounds we have stayed in digging a tire down will get a stern lecture from the park ranger, same as is they catch a tenter trenching around the tent.:sad:
 
Been RV'ing for years with no issues. Have a new to me Roadtrek and to shower it has to be slightly front up for shower to drain. This thing is a pain to level and although I am active on forums had never heard of these app!
Have an app called Camper Level and it looks very promising.

Absolute brilliance putting a shower drain on the end of a flat shower floor!
 
has to be slightly front up


for some of the Pleasure Way models we need a slight nose up to prevent water pooling ( rain or ac condensate) at the AirCon and seeping past seals.


I had that slight nose up set when i calibrated the above apps

I calibrated the app on a known level surface in the shop, need to redo with the front end up a bit!
 
Before I saw this thread I installed CamperSet on my iPhone. Haven't used it at a parking spot yet, but it looks interesting. One side feature is that they have a companion app for my Apple Watch, so I can set my phone on the floor of the van and see the results on my watch. Kind of useful if I want to move the van around a little in the parking spot before getting out my leveling blocks.
 
So now I have a new question. I installed a new android radio in my RT, is there a leveling app that I can set the phone on the floor and view the screen on my radio? Atoto 9 inch A6

Just purchased a OBD 2 code reader for it, have not received yet.
