Remote view electronic level

[Bob_Vaughn]

I tow a 5th wheel and have a ball bubble level on the pin of my 5th wheel of my camper that I can see in my rear view mirror. It takes forever for the ball to settle to where I know whether it is level or not. By the time it reaches the bottom of the arc I am already unhitched. I have seen some levels like CIPA Wireless RV Leveler but there seems to be a lot of issues with the transmitter not working when the rv has aluminum frame and arctic insulation. What I would like to have is something that could be permanently installed on the 5th wheel and I could see the lights in the cab without having to get out of the cab and going back to the camper and place a transmitter on the floor and then turn it on then return to the cab to see what to do....

Been using our big bubble level on the pin box for about 5 years and it still works great. I haven't noticed any wait for the ball to settle. I subscribe to the KISS principle when it comes to things like this.

I don't know what happens to the big bubble level (level master) on the pin box after a few years but I am no longer happy with mine. In fact I don't even refer to it anymore. Don't know if I want another or try something else.

Thanks for the heads up ... so far I haven't had this issue but now I'll keep this in mind as a possibility in the future.

Subscribed to topic, to see what others recommend.

I purchased the large level for the pin box, thought I could build a temporary mount, haven't gotten around to it. For now, simplicity of a 9" torpedo level works for me.

That's odd, I have a large metal LevelMaster mounted on my travel trailer and I can't say I've noticed it being particularly slow for the ball to settle. :h



Sorry, can't help you with an electronic version as I've just never found the need for one.
