As a gadget lover, this is cool.
But as a realist, I can see myself chucking into the nearest lake after climbing in and out of the camper seventeen times to see if I adjusted the level!!
I'll stay with the $1.99 stick on levelers!

If everything's on the straight and level, can you actually say you're camping?

I believe that this is meant for the Motorhome owner who has the electric/hydraulic levelers that operate from switches on the dashboard. Now, THAT's the system to get, just flip a switch from the comfort of your lawn chair!

My trailer has no one level place that matches another level place.
Just as long as my head is uphill when I sleep and the fridge will get cold all is good.

I think I'll wait on this one. I figured Gina couldn't resist then I would know if it was worth the 50 "bones". Now I'll just have to wait a bit longer.

I bought an electronic level for my GEEK son-in-law and set the 0 at a little off so it would drive him nust. He reset the thing to the right zero and uses it when he levels things because level has to be level.
If you need one of these things you really need a life first.

sceeesh, take something that works perfectly well, made out of a little bit of liquid (beer anyone?) and a tiny "piece" of air...add batteries and charge 50 bucks for it...why didn't I think of that first
ya know, if you don't have a "store bought" level...a bartenders shot glass (the kind that has the line around it notating 1 oz) and some water will display when the toad is perfectly level. Ask me how I know

This is interesting. I seem have heard many of these "anti" arguments a number of years ago. "Why do I need an expensive calculator, my slide rule works just fine?"

I thought the thing was a remote readout, but after glancing at all the derisive and disparaging remarks from the choir I decided to actually read the link.
Sure enough, it sure pays to read the fine print.

I don't really care if I'm level as long as the head of the bed is on the uphill side.
