Purchased my new BAL leveler; so now I'm set for my camping trip at the end of April.

This tip would definitely make setting up easier and being calibrated when refrigerator is super level would give you the easiest route to the best outcome. Save some trips in and out of the camper that's for sure.

because there's not a lot that's "square/plumb" in a casita i've a test that works for me. if the bathroom door and the fridge door will stay wherever you open them to...it's level. i've used a sharpie to mark that position on the 2 levels that came on the trailer (neither of which is centered). gets me very close every time.

I leveled my Casita using the factory installed levels . The refrigerator and trailer were way out of level . I then placed a 6 Ft. level on the belly band and leveled the trailer , refrigerator was now really close to dead center level, l then installed 2 new exterior levels . There was almost a half a bubble difference between the factory levels and the ones I installed.

Oops ... I see Donna D already made the same recommendation. I should point out that I learned about the BAL Leveler (and many other things) on this forum. I also learned that a pizza delivery bag is perfect for storing and transporting the leveler.

I place a wine glass on top of the fridge as a level. Lubrication helps the leveling process...
