I doubt it does. It probably just does the basic trig function to get the heights at each corner ( distance*sin(angle) ). If it does compensate for compression it is probably a fixed constant (as you'd have to have different calculations based on the different RVs).
I do have to point out that there are a bunch of RV Level apps in both App Stores (Apple, Google).
Here is an Android one for example. These apps require you to lay the phone/tablet down on a flat area of the coach just like you would a level (and they do the same calculations that the LevelMatePRO does--its just that the LevelMatePRO separates the level from the readout). I've tried one of them, but my phone's camera extends out from the case so it doesn't lay flat
Hmm here is another application of the same sort of thing:
The Android app and
the sensor that goes with it--doesn't look as slick as the LevelMatePRO though (it does talk to you ! however).
