PARKING, LEVELLING AND BLOCKING

Fig. 3-2 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 connec-
tions (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 vari-
ous water and waste levels in the different hold-
ing 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
Levelling System, follow the directions under Mo-
torhome Levelling in Section 9.2 of this manual to
level your motorhome. If not equipped, use wood
blocks to raise the lower end or side of the mo-
torhome 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 plac-
ing blocks beneath a set of dual wheels make sure
you block both tires so that the load is not carried
by one tire.
