I’m confused why you would choose to use blocks to level rather than jacks. With the Level Mate Pro you could manually level with the Level Mate Pro from your captains chair in probably 30 seconds. Maybe I missed something.
Newmar now directs you to put slides out before extending jacks, watching the gaps around the full length slide for pinching. I guess best to follow procedure as specified in owners manual.
Love your channel and thank you for answering the age old question of...level first and slide out or slide out then level??..you would be surprised how many dealers tell you it does not matter...I beg to differ..level first then slides out is the way to do it :)
Pads under the tires are ridiculous, too much hassle, waste of time IMO. I've NEVER needed them. Occasionally I'll use a block of wood under one of my hydraulic jacks, maybe 2. Plus, 99.8% of gasser motorhomes don't have the $20K liquid spring setup, so that step is not relevant to the masses.
Thank you. This was our first summer with our motorhome and we have had some “leveling challenges.” We did feel a little tipsy walking from the back to the front a couple of times! Our front tires were even off the ground once, and we didn’t notice until after we had our slides out and power connected. We will not make that mistake again. You guys are the best!

I'm new to the Rv world got a I 2007 Fleetwood Pace Arrow how can I level my without using jacks when storing do I use a hand level if so where do I put it so I can level it before buying level mate. Any help is appreciated
Great video. I have a 40 foot diesel pusher with a full wall slide and 2 slides on the passenger side. Being that these slides are so heavy do you think that when I open them it will effect the levelness? Not sure if thats even a word but I'm sure you get it. LOL. Thnx
I have HWH air leveling without jacks. One step push the auto level button and as long as slope is not terrible it levels perfectly. It is amazing the amount of out of level it can fix, then put slide out. It also monitors the level and adjusts itself if needed. I love this system, it is so simple.
Very good video. I don’t have anything but the old style leveling system. Both front jacks come down together and the back ones left and right separately. And sometimes it’s a pain in the ass to get the 2002 motorhome level. I have a level app on my phone and lay it on the counter and listen for the beeps that tell me I’m level then I check it with a 2ft level to make sure. I always say there’s got to be a better way. Any suggestions?
I see some folks level with their wheels are off the ground. Is that safe? I don’t know if I could level that way as I think just have the weight of the coach on those very small cylinders wouldn’t be a good idea. I just installed Levelmate pro and can’t wait to use it on our next trip. Thanks for the video. I don’t typically dump air before lowering the jacks, so that was new info.. thanks for the great video.
Informative, as always Izzy. Good checklist. As a towable guy, so far, we’ve used the plastic “legos” or 1x6 wood blocks. Fortunately, haven’t stayed anywhere that was crazy-bad unlevel. Looking forward to more from Hershey!
Yet again, another great episode of much needed tips. A lot of folks aren't aware about the "Level First! Then Slides Out". Really important if you want to make sure the slides stay in prime shape.👍😎 It was such a pleasure to be able to meet you both at the show today. You're both so kind and genuine. Thank You Izzy for your Service. Mary, the former Flight Attendant from Newark and Joe. And our six "Grand Pits".👍😎❤
Thank you for these 7 great tips on how to level your Rv. Loved it. Great job! Hope you are having fun at Rv show. Glad you met up with Matt. Looking forward to more videos from the show. Have a great night!
Do you recommend using blocks under the tires when the RV is in storage? This is our first time winterizing our RV we bought used this summer. We have a gravel pad next to our garage but noticed the front of our coach is a few inches lower.
We have just added Liquid Spring. We understand we can lower the back with one push down from Ride Height and front and back with two. Is that what you were referring two when you talked about the Liquid Spring Step ? For example front up back down, etc. ?
Wonderful and informative video as always, thank you! You have a mini for Lynx Pads but I think you mentioned and showed Hosspads. Are those the pads you are using? I have the LevelMate Pro and use that to get as close to level but then I hit the auto level jacks and they are always perfect. I'm really glad you emphasized leveling first then extending the slides. I was told the opposite when I bought my Canyon Star and that was definitely wrong. Thank you again!!
Read the manual that came with your coach about what to do first most of the Newmars with full wall slides say to first check the gap between the slide and coach on the long slide and if it looks pretty even then deploy the slide before leveling the coach. But everything else he said is right on and I'm guessing they don't have a long slide. Great video will look into getting the leveling unit I like that you can use your phone.
@EndlessRVing I am at a campground now and back wheels are pretty far off the ground, front Jack's didn't even deploy. Not sure I am comfortable being this unlevel
@EndlessRVing yeah I have the front chalked up now but now I can't get the Jack's to retract and I can't find the valve body assembly to manually do it. Dont know where they hid it
As usual your video is extremely informative. I checked the manual for my 2019 BS 3226 and on page 30 it indicated to extend the slideouts first prior before leveling. Do you have more recent information on the proper sequencing?
