Leveling issue Jayco Melbourne on MB Sprinter Chassis.

We are in a site that has level issues. We can’t put enough blocks under the front wheels to get us level. The refrigerator doesn’t seem to be keeping cold. It is on electricity but is being unlevel going to mess with it? We are level side to side. Front is low. Thanks

I cant answer your question but it seems that even at so called level lots the front is always at least 3" low. Koko on this forum also stated they have the same issue.

We ended up moving to another spot and refrigerator is working again. I’m glad it didn’t seem to affect it long term. I’ve read that you need to be somewhat level but this surprised me.

Mine is seldom dead on level but never bad enough for the refrigerator not to work right. Glad you are back on track and hope you have a good trip.

We were really slanted forward and not comfortable putting more blocks under a front tire. Need to assess the campsite better next time. Thanks again

I have 20 logos blocks but 4-1/2 - 5” is my limit.

Water pump silent Jayco Melbourne 24K.
Does anyone know which fuse to check for the water pump? We have water when hooked up to a spigot. There is 2/3 tank of water in fresh tank. Nothing comes out of the spigots when we try to use the pump. Hubs says the controls are all correct ... city fill vs normal. We are on normal

On the leveling issue, we are very low in the front as Pfflyer said. We now have Equalizer auto level; and unless we're really careful with our position at camp sites, our front tires come off the ground. That's acceptable, but we don't like it. We always try to position ourselves up as far as we can in the front before we level. We've never had trouble with our fridge even when we can't bring it up in front (as in Cracker Barrel parking lots, etc.)
