3.1.4 PARKING, LEVELLING AND BLOCKING
Try to pick a spot as level as possible on which to park
your motorhome. You may choose to drive in or back
in depending on your personal preference. Remem-
ber, however, that all your utility connections (water,
sewer, electrical, etc.) are all located on the left side
of your motorhome.
It is important that you make sure your motorhome is
levelled correctly whenever you park, not only for your
own comfort but for the proper functioning of your
appliances such as your refrigerator. The vapor
cooling system can “lock up” and damage the refrig-
erator if it is not level. As well, the various water and
waste levels in the different holding tanks will have a
reduced holding capacity if not level. In addition, the
sewer drainage system needs to be level in order to
function properly.
Use manual levelling jacks or wood blocks to raise the
lower end or side of the motorhome to bring it to level.
After your motorhome is levelled, use wheel chocks or
similar devices in front or behind the wheels in order
to prevent your motorhome from rolling off the blocks.
When placing blocks beneath a set of dual wheels
make sure you block both tires so that the load is not
carried by one tire.
Always exercise care and caution when parking
and levelling your motorhome. Make sure
everyone, especially children, are well clear until
the vehicle has been stabilized.
