The LevelMatePro Bluetooth unit and mobile app make quick work of finding the best spot to set up camp
The LevelMatePro unit contains a battery, a three-axis digital accelerometer that does the calculations and a Bluetooth transmitter that sends the data.
RVers, for the most part, like to keep things simple. When a product comes along that streamlines a tedious task and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, we take notice.
Such is the case with the LevelMatePro Wireless Vehicle Leveling System. After a super-simple install, followed by a free app download and a few calibration steps, the LevelMatePro eliminates the need to duck into and out of the trailer several times to check the bubble level and make adjustments after pulling onto a new campsite.
Possibly the best feature, the LevelMatePro displays, in inches or centimeters, exactly how far off level the trailer is, so you can determine if and how many leveling blocks or ramps will be needed, or if the onboard leveling jacks (if so equipped) will extend far enough to reach the proper attitude. If you’re new at trailering and the whole leveling process is not yet an easy second-nature job, and you don’t have automatic leveling, then this technology will be a game-changer for you.
Mounting the unit requires just two screws. It’s best to position it on an interior wall toward the front of the RV, according to the instructions. The unit should be close enough to the cab of the tow vehicle so it can pair with the app when used by the driver or passenger. Per the instructions, the unit does not need to be mounted in a perfectly level position. Eyeballing it will be sufficient, and the system will compensate during calibration.
Once the unit is mounted on a wall inside the RV and the app is loaded on a smartphone or tablet, there’s a calibration process that starts with leveling the trailer the traditional way — with a bubble level. The user’s manual walks you through several setup screens where you indicate to the software how the unit is installed and provide information about your rig, such as length and width. This process is fairly intuitive, but be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
After calibrating, the LevelMatePro stores this position in its memory and provides information to match it each time you pull onto a campsite. A little real-world testing revealed this to be true. We pulled our travel trailer to several sites with varying degrees of side-to-side and front-to-back pitch and found in every case that the LevelMatePro gave us the info we needed to hit level first time, every time.
