gypsies2 Report post Posted January 22, 2011 Hi, I would like some info on leveling my Allegro RED. Can you put one side up on some wood and let your jacks down without putting to much pressure on the other side. Sometimes in parking lots like casinos, Walmart and campgrounds, it isn't very flat. I have tried putting blocks under one side of the tandems, and a block under the jack on that side and the other tire almost came off the ground.

Guest Wayne77590 Report post Posted January 22, 2011 John, One has to be extremely careful using the method you described. I personally would not do it. I carry some 2 x 10 x 16 inch pieces and if it were me I would move forward or backward, place the appropriate amount on the ground, and roll the MH into the temporary platform. I have the means to go 3 high stacked on the 2 x 10's. I use other 2 x 10's and the orange plastic squares as a ramp. Seems like a lot of work. but: Raising the wheels off the ground and slipping wood underneath may cause a problem when you decide to retract. From the settling of the MH you may not have the clearance to remove the wood, so you would halve to build a ramp. My manual states to not place any object over 3 inches high under the jack as you may not be able to raise the jack to clear the object when retracting. I'm all for the part of moving to another location. Levelling: Place DW on floor with feet towards front of coach. Observe which way she rolls. Turn 90 degrees and repeat process. Level accordingly. Okay! Okay! So she puts me on the floor - big deal!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shields Report post Posted January 22, 2011 John, Note that Wayne is using lumber wide enough to support the full width of the tire tread. It's important to have support all the way accross. Similarly, if a rear corner is low, supporting both the tires is essential. Does your coach allow you to lower the suspension (such as by deflating air bags)? If so, lowering the coach first will put your jack pads closer to the ground and give you more lift range. Good luck, Tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gypsies2 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 Thanks guys, I was just wondering how you all were doing it. I don't do this at Walmarts or any business place. I try to find a level spot or move. I am a stickler on leveling. I do what one of you says. I have always carried a lot of wood with me, and I do build a sort of ramp using a few boards to go up one at a time. Now I would like to know how to get rid of mice. I think I might have a family in here. I can't get to them or see them unless they come out at night, which one did and I finally got him after a lot of D-con he ate up. They usually come up at night after we are in bed and I see their droppings in some drawers. I have finally set up an old fashioned trap with the spring load to kill him or them, plus I have more D-con pellets. Thanks, John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, for some great information on mice control, go to the "search" box at the upper right of this page and type "mice". Some good discussions there. Thanks.
