Do you carry a level with you
Do you carry a 2' or 4' level in your RV. The little stick on levels move easily so they're not that accurate.

I'm not that picky myself, the stick on levels get me close enough. But I do have an app that's handy for leveling if I need it: Clinometer
In a pinch fill a measuring cup with water.

Many owners prefer an app on their phone with a level. There is also an RV device that can be installed in the rig that uses Bluetooth to communicate with a phone and show more information and level (sorry don't remember the name of it right now).
A carpenter's level will also work.

Mounted, on the tongue is a small 2 way bible level, secured in some marine silicone. It does not move. I do carry a small 10" level just in case. I have not used it in years.

I have a 6 inch "torpedo" level that is part of the kit just inside the door of the TT:
You can see it peeking out from under the wooden pad for the tongue jack.
Placed on the rear bumper for left-to-right leveling. Moved to the tongue for front-to-back leveling.

Yes, I carry an 18" level, plus I have levels stuck to the camper itself in strategic locations (more or less invalidating the need for the level...)

I carry a 2' carpenters level in my camper to look at when leveling. I also have 2 more stick on and mounted levels. When any 2 of them show level, I quit.

I just keep a small plastic framed bullet level in the MH just in case. The leveling system works pretty well on getting it as close as I need it to be. But it's there just in case the leveling system needs recalibration, which it does on occasion. Used the same thing on my toy hauler for years, which had all manual stabilizers. I just use it in the middle of the floor, if necessary, right on the laminate flooring. Plenty accurate.

Does anyone know the name of the Bluetooth device?

Oh, that's what it is. "Torpedo level". Hahaha!!! I knew it was something ballistic! Close, but no cigar.

I carry one of the small 8" torpedo levels, cost me about $3 at Harbor Freight. Perfect for my tool bag.

3 actually. 2 bullet levels that I use mostly. One for my grill (griddle pitch for grease flow) and the other for telling me I am front to back level when putting down the landing gear.
The third is a 2ft level which fits perfectly under my TV to confirm I am level.
Yes I know a little OCD, but that is a pet peeve of mine. I can feel it when I walk through the unit if it's not right.

Search the forums about 45 days back. There was a thread with the information in a discussion. We couldn't find it today with a quick search.
Our Jayco motorhome has a built in level detector with green light when set as a part of the Power Gear hydraulic levelers.

The little plastic levels that stick on work perfectly IF you use the 2 screw holes on each end to permanently attach them to the TT. Yes the tape method will alter its position with the heat of the sun. I also check them every once in a GREAT while to insure that they are still correct.

Is this the one? LevelMatePRO? https://www.amazon.com/LevelMatePRO-.../dp/B01FGGSWPW
I see a few others online, but this got the most hits.

I keep a 2 foot level in the storage compartment. It wasn't planned. I forgot it in there a while back and now thats just where it resides.
