Floor not parallel to wheels

We are constructing a parking pad for our 2017 Vegas 24.1 when I discovered that when the Vegas is parked on level concrete, the floor is noticably sloped down towards the front - the front wheels need raising about 3" to get the floor level. The gas tank is full, the water tank is full and the holding tanks empty. It is mostly unloaded but this is how it will be when parked at the house. Are they all like this?

Yes. I always added leveling blocks to the front

I read a chassis spec a couple years ago for the E chassis and ideally there's supposed to be "some" rake to the front vs. perfectly level. Mine is excessive like you describe and that's because the front is very heavy. Have you weight it yet

Level seems to be a little front and to the left for a lot of people

I use the camco leveling ramps. Use them for oil changes too. They are stored under couch which now has hinges on lower panel from post on this forum.

To answer your question... Yes, most are exactly like this.

My 2015 Vegas 24.1 sits nose down as well. We use one level of Camco leveling blocks under both front wheels and that levels it out.

Old school, use 2 2X8 under each front wheel, this gives me about 3 1/2 inches rise.

Pour the concrete sloped so things would be relatively level
