'18 Vegas 25.5 Leveling

[PaulH]

Wind down scissor jacks work for me, they take up very little room, are low cost and easy to use.

I hadn't thought about the impact of the slide being extended. Thanks for the tip. Probably slight but could help.

I don't recall, but it was a tight fit. Everything is tidy and well routed. Most of the time taken was wiring and calibrating the controller in the cabin, under the steering column. You have to be a gymnast to twist your body in the pretzel to work there, and let's just say the guy in the shop is not a gymnast.

So we actually gained storage space by chucking all those leveling boards.

That's what I was hoping for and would probably have jumped on it. But, the owners of the two I know of had to use the forward left storage compartment. Both were installed by Big Foot in Florida. They were told that they lacked about 2 inches in space on the frame. Something on the 25.5 is in the way, sadly. I only carry 1 set of levelers and have never had a problem getting level. I don't have an absorption fridge so no problem if I'm off just a tad. More for comfort when sleeping and ensuring the shower drains properly.
