Above is an internal link within this forum to a formula for rv length vs angle of rv so as to resolve what 5° is in inches front to rear.

I use this link format for new threads I create so I can keep track of pictures and things for when future questions arise and old info needs refound.

Five degrees is nothing close to what many/most people perceive .


Click the link.

On my class C 168" wheelbase; 5° rounds to 15".

However, turn the rig 90° and you only need about 6".

Dometic says 6 degrees front to back, but 3 degrees side to side for their absorption fridges.

Three degrees side to side or front to back is uncomfortable sleeping so I try to level the coach to less than two degrees in both directions,
