There is an old thread on this subject >here< but the title could be more specific so I thought it best to start another.

I don't like the "T" shaped indicators or the button indicators normally sold in accessory shops. In my post >here< I show how I prefer to do it. It is easy to judge where to place the leveling blocks and it gives accurate results without leaving the drivers seat to continually check. Unfortunately I forgot to remove my simple levels when I sold the vehicle and am now in search of a cheap alternative for the replacement vehicle or any better ideas.

So what do you use to judge you are level?

Yep, good old spirit level both ways on the floor suits me. Always reverse up ramps so can see the level whilst reversing.
Other point is to ensure that the foot end of the bed is always lower than the head end. Prevents Reflux.

Thanks, trouble with some ideas is you have to leave the driving seat to check. A solution which can be seen from the drivers seat is a must for me. I like Peejay's idea of the mount to place the "T" level on, I could be swayed with that one. I don't have an iPhone Sad so that could be an expensive solution when I don't really need one.

I look and use my ears. Then the wife sees which way the fridge door swings if left half way open. Failing that I put the spirit level thingey on the table. Mostly I am about right.
