Does the job - Electronics

Does the job but the main body doesn't fit snugly in the detachable mount and this causes the level to cut off if you don't hold it in the correct position.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Secret

Defective bracket

Electronics working properly. The problem is that the mount is very poorly constructed. The bracket is a narrow rail that attaches to your motorhome. The mount doesn't support corners at all, so the spirit level isn't very reliable and therefore not very accurate. The bracket must be significantly wider and may have some higher quality plastic.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Boring Pack

Ease of use: Electronics

I installed this on a small RV (pop up) and I think it fits perfectly. I had a bit of an issue keeping the level up during install (can't remember why), but it installed with no problems and hasn't budged since. It's very easy to use, just open it up and turn it on before you walk the last few feet. LED indicators tell you if you're level and which side you're not on and how many leveling blocks to put under the tire, no more guessing.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Fits

Loose mounting plate

I really liked this device as I hate jumping in and out of a truck to look at a small plane. I installed it on the side of my 2019 F287 and immediately noticed that the spirit level wobbled when it was attached to the bracket. When the trailer is level, the unit will tilt a few degrees. I've tried several ideas to solve the problem including wedges, gluing, using foam etc. but nothing has worked reliably. I ended up just gluing the magnets to the back and gluing them to the metal apron when…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Save your marriage, buy one

It works. My suggestion is to park your trailer, level it in every way, THEN build it up. In my case, this saves me from having to ask my wife to tell me when a level says it's a level, only to find out it's not a level and what follows. Leveling my trailer side to side is crucial as my electric jack makes the process of moving it front to back very easy. It serves its purpose and is a really handy accessory for those with a caravan as it significantly reduces set-up time. And if you "really”…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Frequency

Useless! on Electronics

I found it a useless item. After we aligned our fifth wheel, I tried to attach it sideways. He held onto the side of the rig and showed it was 4 inches to the side. I first attached it with the supplied glue and then screwed it on, but then it flexed because of the tape. I removed the tape, reinstalled it and tried to align it. The best I could do was 3 inches to the side. After spending over an hour leveling something that was already level, I picked it up and threw it in a box with another…

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • So-so

That's great.

It turned out great. I've only used it a couple of times but I have no complaints. A very nice concept. I have mine mounted on the drivers side of the fifth wheel and can see it perfectly in the mirror. Use it to line it up side to side, then fold it flat against the 5' and unhook it from the truck to line it up front to back. You can also remove the dock leveler from the mounting bracket if you want to protect it. I delete mine after use and stow them in the camper storage compartment until I…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • There are downsides

Good idea, bad execution

Everything about this level was good except the attachment system (click and lock mechanism) which is too loose to be useful. After leveling my trailer, I followed the easy to read instructions that came with the level to place it on the side of the trailer an inch from the front edge and made sure the built in mechanical level read the level, when I put the glue back to the side. Follower. I then inserted the three screws provided to ensure the mount was secure. After following the…
