Levellers false reading.

[ShiftZZ]

Parked up. Levellers used. But the van feels like it's not level, system appears to confirm its level, small bullble level appears

to contradict the auto system photograph appears to confirm van not level.

Can the system be wrong g?
If so how to fix?

System E&P..

 

[Realist]

I use a long level if I dought myself on the floor of the van.

Would this video help in any way.

Have you had them serviced, recommended with ours from memory every 2 years - getting ours done just before the warranty runs out.

 

[DavidG58]

I often do ours manually as it doesn’t go as high as it does on auto

We set ours very slightly off level to keep water off the roof

Can’t beat a real sprit level at times like these, but there is a phone app as well, I also know you can tweak the calibration yourself but can’t recall how

 

[dulvil]

Mine has been reset 4 times and still isn’t level next time used . Met a chap on-site a month ago who had a new van and that wouldn’t level properly either

If you are not carrying a level, put the fluid of your choice in a glass on a flat surface. Adjust until the fluid appears level and then drink the fluid.

I suspect Shiftzz would try to level the fluid by drinking it first!

 

[SpeedyDux]

I blame climate change!

Even the UK sticker seems to be listing badly.

Chapter 5 of this manual tells you how to re-calibrate. Had to do ours once. Simple process but you do need to know when the van is level to reset at the rights point.

pint glass filled with water on the counter is usually a decent indication if you don't have a spirit level.

But personally. I would just manually adjust until it feels right to you. If it feels right it is right as it is about comfort nothing else?

Worry about it when you get back Enjoy your trip.

Not sure if this is relevant, but ours went out of level when we drove down to warmer weather. One leg in particular was behaving differently to the others (the van not me). Whilst away I simply put a block under the offending leg and levelled manually, which worked fine for the trip. When we got home, Mick's team at SAP took a look and decided there was air trapped in the hydraulics, which expands and contracts differently to the hydraulic fluid. They bled and serviced the system and it was perfect every time after that.

Just had ours done at SAP, they re calibrated the levels and yes it was slightly out, great service there btw

That works better if you use alcoholic fluid.

Can I pass it through my kidneys first?

photograph appears to confirm van not level.

It isn't .level it up with the window bars on the building opposite

 

[pappajohn]

If your van ain't level then neither is the tall black pole next to it.
Equal measurement at top and bottom.
It's that tree that throwing you eyes out of kilter.

... assuming it hasn't got subsidence and making him think his MH's out when it's the building ... and the tree!

Look at the roof line of Shifzz van compared to the roof line of the half blue building behind and now tell me that Siftzz van is level.

Just now and again, roofs are sloped to let the water run off lol.

Must be very disappointing for people to spend thousands on these systems and then they don't work.

As must be the ridge of the pitched roof behind.

It's evident that the system is working as the jacks are down but this time it has not found level which can on occasions can be caused if you move around in the van and the van rocks when it is levelling which confuses the system.

Post vs. Van

[Otter Spotter]

Has ShiftZZ put weight on and is he stood on one side of van ?

 

[Two on Tour]

But that only works if the line of the building and the wall and the rear of Dave's motorhome are parallel Otherwise perspective comes into it.
