On the level, Part 2

In a recent post in the Fifth Wheels area of the RVTravel.com Forum, a new fiver owner requested information on how to level his rig. A couple of the responding posts were very helpful. Anyone new to fifth wheels would find this information quite useful.

I wrote a little about leveling in a recent post here: On the level. The challenge there was a rather severe slope down toward the front of my trailer. In the photo above the problem was reversed. I lowered the front of my fiver until it rested on the spare tire (carried under-belly) and I was still high in front. I rehitched, backed the trailer up on every block and plank I carried including my Trailer-Aide tire ramp, and then tried again. The spare was on the ground again, but at least we were level.

This photo was taken in a meadow in Pike National Forest. That's Pike's Peak in the distance.
