Leveling Jayco Melbourne

Giacomo · 03-11-2018, 04:16 PM

I have a Jayco Melbourne L I notice on a level ground the front is 6 to 8 inches lower to start off. That means you might have to raise the front a foot or more to level it. Does anyone know if front to back leveling is as important as side to side

Yes to be level it needs to be level side to side and front to back.

Thanks for nothing

I would agree with Sundancer330 but I'm not familiar with your particular TT as to why it appears to be closer to the ground at the front. You said it requires you to probably raise it a foot just to get things to even out. If you don't have it level side to side and front to back your trailer turns out to be a carnival sideshow inside. Things placed on the table or stove with a tilt will potentially roll or slide off. That probably goes without saying though. I'm sorry I can't be of any more help as far as your specific model. Hopefully, someone will chime in for you.

I want to apologize to Sudancer 330 I really didn’t mean for it to come out that way. I know you should level it both ways but I don’t understand how in some situations you might have to raise the front maybe a foot or more on leveling blocks. It doesn’t even seem safe.

Besides personal comfort, the fridge is the only thing that would matter as far being off level. Here's a quote right from the fridge manual.

" The refrigerator is made to operate within 3°
off level side-to-side and 6° off level front-to-back (as
looking at the front of the refrigerator). Operating it at
more than these limits can cause damage to the cooling
system and create a risk of personal injury or property
damage. Make sure the vehicle is level before you
operate the refrigerator."

My 24k Melbourne is always about 3" low in the front. Over 4" I move to another spot in that site or ask for another site all together. I don't know if they were drunk when they set the coach on the chassis or not but that is what I deal with. If you don't have a LEVELMATEPRO or an app that tells you how many inches to raise each wheel I highly recommend it.

We too have a 24L. The Mercedes Chassis is naturally lower in front than in back. We have to be careful when we decide which spot to put the RV when we go to an RV Park. To help with the leveling we had the HWH Hydraulic Leveling system added to our motor home. It has made a world of difference with leveling and with reduction of movement in the motor home when one of us is walking around. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. I live on Long Island NY there’s one rv dealer on the whole island. He is a Jayco dealer but he told me they don’t make a leveling system for a Melbourne L . Is your an after market and would you mind telling me what it cost.
