3.1.5 PARKING, LEVELING 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. Remember,
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 refrigerator if it is
not level. As well, the various water and waste levels in
the dierent 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.
If your motorhome is equipped with the Hydraulic Lev-
elling System, follow the directions under Motorhome
Leveling in Section 9.2 of this manual to level your
motorhome. If not equipped, use leveling 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 o
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 level-
ling your motorhome. Make sure everyone, especially
children, are well clear until the vehicle has been stabilized
and parked with the ignition o.
