Sorted GPS now how about a good level

[JaG]

This works perfect for me @ £1.50 including postage of course.

We started with a cheap pair of them but they didn’t agree with each other.
They’re not that accurate then
Maybe I could’ve worked out which one was “faulty” but by then I’d found the “Level” part of my iPhone’s Measure app

 

[Manic]

now being lazy and not wanting to go sticking little levels around .

Surely if your lazy, sticking one level in a position that can be seen from drivers seat, once, is easier than faffing about get your iPad or what ever device out and find your flat surface to place it on.

I just know we have to park facing slightly uphill in our Ducato in order to be level, as the natural setup is slightly front-down. I’d love E&P but the cost is eye-watering. We carry quattros and use little cheap bubble level in the shape of a camper that our son gave us.

Each to their own.
the iPad has its own level so level the iPad Pro the level the van.
the iPad I will be using is only used for the Moho.
I have other I pads .

i am being too fussy if it needs anything more accurate..

We have one of those as well, came with our van-I used to just carry a small carpenters level and put it on the table-worked for our first 2 vans……

 

[drpeej]

I use this.
Amazon product ASIN B07T7P8LNK
Also useful as an inclination measure for portable satellite dish

 

[drpeej]

I also use the wife who can visually detect any slope with an accuracy of 0.5 degree

 

[GirlyVanGirly]

We have a little bubble thing, but usually we look at it and say 'that'll do!' So long as the blood doesn't rush to our heads in bed we are not too worried, we have only used our ramp things a couple of times.

 

[ElliesBoss]

Never used our ramps. If it looks level it's near enough

I like 3 degrees or less. Mostly as I've not worked out how fussy the Dometic RM6200L fridge is but prefer more water to go down the shower & sinks plug holes

 

[Brocksford]

Go on eBay and buy a 1 inch diameter stainless steel ball bearing. Place it on your glass cooker top and it will roll to indicate how level you are. Low tech wins out in my world.

Me too. More than accurate enough for me!

 

[AlandSue]

Has to be the shower room door! If it swings open , raise the n/s , if it swings shut ,raise o/s ,if it swings forward ,raise the front wheels etc . But it’s a fine balance between the vans waste plumbing and my own inner ear plumbing

The gps / iPad holder has arrived.
it holds the iPad tightly with access to all the ports .

the base goes into the cup holder in the dash board of the fiat ducato
and a large turn button above the cup holder to tighten it in the cup holder. Does not swivel when done.

And the stem is very flexible and tilt can be fixed so as it stays into position.

my cigar lighter is so close . The lead I have at one foot is just right. USB to c connector.
a very good holder .

It will also hold an iPad with a hard cover on it as well.
not sure it it will hold the iPad with a magic keyboard or not as I will not use the iPad magic keyboard anyway.
but if anyone feels the need to know I will try it.

there are other mounting options. See below.
and I still get to use the iPad when I eventually get around to a mifi system.

We've have the Measure app and the Bubble Level app on our iPhones but we actually find this little manual spirit level is much more intuitive to read than the apps. We stuck it down on the worktop.

 

[John Timberlake]

How accurate do you need to be, unless you have a snooker table ?

 

[Badknee]

If my darling carers G&T doesn’t slide off the table we’re fine
