I have great trouble in levelling our MH. I have a set of Fiamma levelers but no matter how hard I try I never get ours level. Would having corner steadiers fitted to each corner help ?
cheers

Corner steadies should not normally be used for levelling they are not up to it as a rule.
How level do you need it.
I used to be ultra critical but nowadays as long as the shower empties I can live with it.

Definitely not,the corner steadies are for providing stability after you have levelled the m/home with levelling blocks,it is not advisable to use them for levelling as excessive force could cause damage.
I never use our corner steadies,they are more trouble than they are worth and the most useless accessory imo.

We have a small level that we get out when we arrive at campsite which we put on the worksurface in the middle of the van. From that we work out which way we need to go (e.g. up front, up back, up right side, up left side).
Then I get out and fix the levels under the appropriate wheels and HWMBO drives onto them with my guidance. Sometimes you cannot get the van level because of the slope but then we make sure that we are not sleeping with our head below our feet.
Provided the wine doesnt spill we are fine - I dont think you need to be 100% accurate with levelling.

PS - a glass of water on the work surface does just as well as any level!!!!!!!!
Once you get your head round levelling is not a precise art, life will become a lot easier..
As others have said, as long as your gravy stays on your plate, life's good

Yep, I have to agree with you there Steve.
They were excellent for the caravan, but of no use on the MH.
Hi Dave & Jan,
If your MH is on a Fiat/Alko chassis, they tend to sit nose down. This determines which way you park on the pitch, ie if it slopes up or down. Often reversing onto ramps provides better levelling, and if you need to, you can drive off them sharpish.
We have a six legger, and rarely use any more than two ramps. (see below)
HTH,
Jock.

It is all very well trying to be witty but there is a more serious side to the problem and some people cannot sleep if not dead level, I know cos. iv'e got one of those.
The simpler wooden planks with a swivel bolt through them to provide a stack of variable heights from side-to-side is a cheaper way to go.
However its not usually necessary as driving around a bit can radically alter the angles of dangle as it were. The gadget you need to do this with absolute accuracy is the bit of kit that landy boys use to determine if they are about to topple over.
It consists of a pair of gauges with a floating needle to indicate levels and degrees of angle. Once set up for true horizontal they can be used to determine whilst on the move a satisfactory level, or , when going up ramps such as the Milenco type offsetting side to side as necessary .
I bought mine from the best accessory shop I have ever seen in Nantes at the side of the N137 but I have seen them in UK.
Mine is connected into the sidelight circuit so I can see it at night.
