How to Level an RV Without Jacks

If you have an RV, but don’t have access to jacks or ramps, there are still ways for you to get it leveled. Here are some tips you can use to level your RV without the need of jacks and ramps.

1: Use Wood Blocks

Wooden blocks can be used as a makeshift way of leveling your RV. You will want to begin by placing them underneath the lower corners of the RV until it is level. Once this is done, use more blocks to support each corner and keep it in place. This method may not work if the ground around your RV has too much of an incline or decline that cannot be corrected with wooden blocks alone.

2: Use wheel chocks

Chocks are another way to level your RV without the use of ramps or jacks. Place a chock in front and behind each wheel, then drive the RV forward or backward until it is leveled. This is an easy way to make sure that your RV remains stable and does not move around too much when you’re inside.

3: Use Sandbags

If you have access to sandbags, these can be used as a makeshift solution for leveling out your RV. Fill up the sandbags with enough material until they are heavy, then lay them underneath each corner of the RV until it is level. This will provide an even base for you to park on while ensuring that your RV does not move around too much.

Additional Tips

  • Always place chocks in front of and behind each wheel before making any adjustments. This helps ensure that the vehicle does not move when you’re making adjustments.
  • Make sure to check the level of your RV periodically throughout your stay. If it starts to become unleveled, adjust the blocks or chocks accordingly.
  • When using sandbags, be sure to place them underneath each corner of the vehicle until it is leveled out. This will provide an even base for you to park on and avoid any safety issues while traveling.
  • It is always best practice to use jacks and ramps whenever possible, as they are the most reliable way of leveling an RV. These tips are meant for short-term solutions only and should not be relied upon in the long term.

Conclusion

Leveling your RV without the use of jacks or ramps is possible with a bit of creativity and resourcefulness. By using wood blocks, chocks, and sandbags you can temporarily level out your RV until it is time to move on. Be sure to take extra caution when doing so, as an unleveled RV may cause safety issues during travel. With these tips in mind, you will be able to enjoy the comforts of your RV while still being safe and secure on any terrain.
