Overnight Parking with Anderson Leveler

jkjenn

I think you could probably substitute "Lego blocks" for "Anderson Leveler" in my question. ....  I am doing g three nights of overnight moochdocking and camping so I can have AC on my way out west (not thrilled with warmer than usual temps.) I would rather not unhitch from the TV. I will be pretty much at spots that I anticipate being dead level. If I roll the T@b up slightly on the Anderson leveler, to help the AC drain properly, is there any risk to the T@b or TV? I think it would proba ly be OK, especially if we are talking just a tiny bit.

Thoughts?

I do that all the time with the yellow lego blocks to get a 1.5 degree forward tilt in the summer, for that same reason.  I only unhook the 7pin since I read somewheres on this forum that some vehicles can have their batteries drain otherwise.

I do it frequently, @jkjenn. Last spring it took me 21 days to drive from AZ back home in Indiana, and I didn’t unhitch once, and my Cool Cat drained just fine as I just adjusted with my Legos.

Your T@B moves with your tow vehicle on the hitch as you are driving and some Forest Service roads are really unlevel side to side, just as your levelers will make the T@B with levelers. 

You’ll be fine.

(I have to remember to unhook the 7-pin since the charging wire is hot on the F-150, but it wasn’t on the Tacoma...thanks, @DougH.)

Last roadtrip of a couple weeks I didn’t unhitch three nights.  One night the site was unlevel in a way which had my required, for ac to drain, tongue down.  Second time was cool enough we slept with windows open.  Third, I used our Bal leveler to get the drain angle.  No, it won’t matter to be hitched.

Awesome, thanks, @Verna that was my thinking so glad to hear it confirmed.

@jkjenn I've used the Anderson to get fairly level on an odd site, still had a slant though. The only problem I can think of would be having to light your fridge on propane, and sleeping on a slant. You will do fine!

I will have AC and I will just slightly tilt, not a noticeable slant, at all. I might try it with just dead on level, too.
