Just made the move from towing an RV to driving a Class C. This is my first Class C and would appreciate any insights from the experienced motorhome owners.

If you were towing a travel trailer, everything about the C is easier except leveling. At least that was my experience.

I also owned a travel trailer and made the switch to a class C motorhome a couple of years ago. I find leveling is easier with a motorhome. I don't have electric or hydraulic levelers. I use THESE

With a small two-way bubble level on the galley counter, I determine which side or front or back is low, position levelers as needed, drive up on them.

THE best part is pulling in after a long drive and putting it in park and walking back to the couch and kicking back and relaxing!

No more un hooking, leveling, moving TV and then reverse the process when it is time to leave. Trust me you won't EVER miss this part of RV'ing now that you have a MH.

Buy one of the those square bubble levels and place it between the cup holders, and when you pull in to your site you can move around a little bit, so that you are at the best level spot, BEFORE you finally park it. I rarely have to use leveler blocks since using this method.

Welcome to the other side of RV'ing.....MH style.

What I did was buy 2 of the small horizontal levels, I then leveled the MH and attached one level on the dash and one on the door, that way I can at a glance see what has to be leveled and how much. Piece of cake!

RVers are among the finest people in the world. One reason we were attracted to RVing was the exceptional people we would meet when visiting RVing friends in the campgrounds. Thanks to all who have given some great ideas. It is very much appreciated.
