Expert Answers about RV Levels
- Trailer Level With Fifth Wheel Pin Box Brackets
- I do have an option for you but the Camco AccuLevel Trailer Bubble Level part # CAM25563 does not come with brackets or hardware to install. I recommend Wheel Masters Level Master Trailer Bubble Level with 5th Wheel Pin Box Mounting Bracket part # WM6780. The level comes with the mounting hardware needed. I have attached a photo for your reference.
If you do not want to drill into the pin box, I recommend Hopkins Never Fade Trailer Bubble Level Set part # HM08526 that is a stick on option.
view full answer... - Does the Trailer Need To Be Level To Install the Hopkins Electronic LED Smart Level
- The trailer does have to be level or as close as possible to install the Hopkins Electronic LED Smart Level part # HM08201 according to my contact at Hopkins. Please note, the Hopkins Electronic LED Smart Level is designed specifically for the Hopkins Leveling Kit part # HM08200.

- While we do have the stick-on graduated levels, each of them are in the 3 to 4 inch range like you mentioned and there aren't any that are larger. So the trade off of getting something like the 10 inch Camco AccuLevel Trailer Bubble Level # CAM25563 is that you would have to screw it in.
I can definitely understand now wanting to screw something into the outside of your trailer, so the only option for a stick-on graduated level is the Hopkins Graduated RV Levels # HM08525, or the Hopkins...

- The Hopkins Electronic LED Smart Level for RVs and Trailers # HM08201 is designed to give you a rough estimate of how much further you'd need to jack the trailer up or down to get it level. Each red light will indicate 1-1/2 inches that it needs to move up or down. This can also be set to 1 inch.
This was configured with the average RV length in mind so while it will work with your 45 foot long trailer you might find that the indicator lights aren't perfect in terms of the amount of...
view full answer... - Recommendation for a Trailer Level for a Coachman Camper Chaparral
- I believe that on your 1 inch flat surface, you could mount the Hopkins Cross-Check Trailer Level, # HM09615. The overall width is 1-1/2 inches but the mounting holes are just close enough to where it should work on your 1 inch flat surface. Out of all the levels we have (see link) I think this one is most likely to work for you.

- Lets say you install this on the driver side wall of your RV and have it flipped out so that you can view it in your mirror. The level itself would still look correct as you look at it in the mirror. So if you were too high on the passenger side the indicator on the driver side of the green dot would illuminate.

- We do have trailer levels that do not require drilling into your camper, but the Camco AccuLevel Trailer Bubble Level # CAM25563 does require drilling to mount it.

view full answer... - Best Place to Mount Hopkins Graduated RV Levels on Trailer

view full answer... - What do the Numbers Indicate on Hopkins Graduated RV Levels # HM08525
- The numbers on the Hopkins Graduated RV Levels # HM08525 are just reference numbers and are not meant to indicate degrees or inches or feet. Basically it is a simple way to make sure the trailer is level on both sides. So if you are at 0 on one side and 2 on the other, in either direction, you know that one side is not level by 2. So you would want to get both to 2 or to 0 in that scenario.

view full answer... - Will Adhesive Keep Hopkins Stick-On Graduated RV Levels in Place
- We haven't had complaints about using the included adhesive backing on level set # HM08525. If you do go with a different double-sided tape be sure to completely remove the existing adhesive. I do not foresee there being a problem but there is one thing that could cause anything that uses adhesive to loosen: heat. With a high enough temperature for a long enough period of time the adhesive will become more fluid and that could cause them to slip.
view full answer... - Instructions On How To Install The Hopkins Graduated RV Levels, # HM08525
- On the Hopkins Graduated RV Levels, # HM08525, the level C is for front-to-rear level and can be installed on either side of the vehicle. The level 3 is for side-to-side level and can be installed on front or rear of the vehicle.
Read both levels (C and 3) and add the two numbers. The total is the number of inches required to raise the lowest corner of the vehicle.
The smallest of the two numbers is the number of inches required to raise or lower at the other corner on the low side.

view full answer... - Could the Hopkins Level+Plus Trailer Level be Mounted to a Trailer Using Double-Sided Tape
- Technically, yes, you could use double-sided tape to mount the Hopkins trailer level, # HM05515, to a surface. But you will want to consider that it will be exposed to the elements that could result in the loss of the level at some point. Or it could shift a little due to the impermanent nature of tape compared to screws. That would throw off the accuracy.
view full answer... - Side to Side Level Installation Position on a 35 foot Camper Using the Hopkins Smart Level.
- The Hopkins Electronic LED Smart Level for RVs and Trailers part # HM08201 was designed to be mounted closer to the front of the camper. At least as close as it takes to still be able to see it. The way it pivots allows you to watch it in your mirror as your pulling onto your leveling blocks.
While there will be a little flex since you are still connected to the truck for the majority of the leveling it doesn't effect it to a noticeable degree.

view full answer... - What Kind Of Drill Bit Should Be Used To Install Hopkins Trailer Hitch Level
- You will want to use a cobalt or titanium drill bit when drilling the 5/32-in pilot hole for the # HM09715 hitch level. These type bits are used for harder metal and will do a better job than just a steel or high-speed steel bit as they will dull pretty quickly and are better for softer metals and wood.

- You are correct, the slotted section of the bracket on the Wheel Masters Level Master Trailer Bubble Level with 5th Wheel Pin Box Mounting Bracket # WM6780 is another option for mounting the level to your pin box.
I do not recommend using the slotted section as the only rear mount since as you mentioned it can cause the level to move if it is bumped, but instead I recommend using the two stationary holes as shown in the included video.

- The Hopkins Graduated RV Levels # HM08525 are about 1/2" thick and have mounting holes that are 5/16" in diameter. Since these can be mounting in a variety of locations just make sure that your screws are a bit longer than 1/2" are the correct material for your mounting surface.
The tube that the bubble is in is actually sealed so there is no need to add caulk behind the unit for the installation. It wouldn't hurt anything but it isn't needed either.
