Our motorhome spirit level<\/p><\/div>\n

Motorhomes have the rather wonderful property of being moveable.<\/p>\n

Only thing is: not all of the thousands of places we can park them (some here<\/a>) are flat. Which leads to an interesting array of in-van problems: needing ropes and crampons to get to the kitchen, risking important anatomy as the loo door slaps shut, and face-planting into that swinging wardrobe door as you attempt to pass. Not to mention the ‘clinging on’ sensation from sleeping in bed on a wonk, and the resultant aching back of a morning.<\/p>\n

The simple solution: get some ramps. Only thing with ramps is, which wheels do you put ’em under, and how far do you drive up them? After years of guessing, or staring at a bit of remaining tea in a cup and trying to suss out our angle of wonk, we bought Zagan, and he had a two-way spirit level in him. Dead simple to fit (not that I managed it!), cheap and easy to read. Sorted. Almost. We do still have the odd, ahem, discussion about how level ‘level’ is. In the photo above, I deem this to be level, ish, while Ju prefers the bullseye in both directions kind of level…<\/p>\n

Here’s the level on Amazon<\/a>, if you’re still using the old ‘tea cup’ approach, plus an alternative that we think would be quite good too!<\/p>\n
