3.1.4 PARKING, LEVELLING AND BLOCKING
PARKING
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.
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 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
levelling your motorhome. Make sure everyone, es-
pecially children, are well clear until the vehicle has
been stabilized.
