Hi gang;
We just picked up our new RPod 180 in Nova Scotia, Canada. We are thrilled with our new adventure toy and can't wait to go on our first camping trip on the south shore of NS. I just have one question though....where in the heck is the levelling ball on this thing? Perhaps it is hiding in plain sight??? Love this forum, lots of great topics. I am also looking for check-lists for heading out or breaking camp, still looking though.
Cheers

Tom and Andrea

Leveling ball? I use a small torpedo level. The electric jack I installed has a small bubble level, but I wouldn't count on it for accuracy.

I use a 12" carpenters level .  Open the door and set it on the floor.  I am getting pretty good at eyeballing it now.

Welcome from Ottawa Highlander60,
Some of us affix tiny levels at the corner of our R-Pod.

I carry a carpenters level, placed inside door, have the wife watch, could mount something to outside but don't like anymore holes in shin that I have.

Welcome.  I tried a stick-on 360 bubble level with our popup and it wasn't right so I used a small carpenter's level for a while after that.  At this point I can tell how many blocks to add just by walking around inside for a few seconds.

Many thanks for the info. I had thought there should be a levelling bubble built on to it as my tent camper even had one. I will pick up a small level and keep it in the trailer. I am former military and love to use check-lists so I will continue to look for some here to use when breaking camp, heading out, or even winterizing. Cheers.
