Level RV: Setup & Leveling Guide
The complete Level RV how-to — initial setup, profiles, active leveling, remote viewing on a second phone, and saving your favorite spots. This is a reference, not a story: use the trail on the left to jump straight to what you need.
Quick Intro
A short walkthrough of the app on YouTube.
Watch the quick intro ↗Initial Setup
Four one-time steps that tell the app what your phone, and your RV, look like.
Set as Zero (Calibration)
Defines what "level" means for wherever you've placed the phone.
- 1
Place the Phone
Put the phone in your chosen position — it doesn't have to be on a flat spot. Any location works, e.g. the dashboard.
- 2
Tap Set as Zero
The app records this exact position as "level" going forward.
RV Dimensions
Enter your vehicle size to enable wheel-by-wheel leveling guidance.
- 1
Open Settings
Go to Menu → Settings.
- 2
Enter Length
Front ↔ rear axle distance.
- 3
Enter Width
Left ↔ right wheel distance.
Sensor Sensitivity
Controls smoothness vs. responsiveness of the readout.
Low
Stable and precise — smooths out small jitters.
High
Fast to respond, but shows more jitter.
Vehicle Image Selection
Select a vehicle image matching your RV type for better visual guidance.
- 1
Open Settings
Go to Menu → Settings.
- 2
Tap Select Image
Opens the vehicle image picker.
- 3
Choose Your Vehicle
Select the image that best represents your vehicle.
Profiles
Profiles allow different calibration setups based on phone location. Common examples:
Create a Profile

Open Menu
Go to Menu.
- 2
Tap Leveling Profiles
Opens the profiles list.
- 3
Name It
Enter a name and tap +.
- 4
Place the Phone
Put it in the position this profile represents.
- 5

Calibrates this profile to that position.
Using / Loading a Profile
- 1
Tap Profile
On the main screen, tap Profile.
- 2
Choose the Name
Tap the leveling profile's name to load it.
Active Use (Leveling)
The core loop, every time you park.
- 1
Park Your Vehicle
Find a spot and stop.
- 2

In the saved position for that profile.
- 4
Follow the Guidance
Adjust until the app reads level.
Guidance Types Available
Tilt Indicators
Left/right and front/back tilt shown live.
Wheel Adjustments
Corrections given in cm / inches, per wheel.
On-Demand Read-Out
Tap a wheel for a spoken adjustment value.
Audio Cues
Tones that change as you approach level.
Voice Instructions
Spoken step-by-step direction while you adjust.
Keep the Screen On
Enable it in the top menu to stop the screen from dimming mid-adjustment.
Goal: reach ~0° level. ±1° usually feels perfectly level.
Shake Shield
Engine running? Your reading shouldn't shake because of it. Shake Shield filters out vibration and bumps, so you see your RV's true angle.
Off vs. On, Side by Side
The same reading with Shake Shield off and on, engine running. A short video on YouTube.

- 1
Open Shake Shield
Go to Menu → Shake Shield.
- 2
Switch It On
Use the switch on the Shake Shield screen.

Choose a Preset
Balanced suits most situations. Pick Light or Maximum if you want less or more smoothing.
The Presets
Light
Minimal smoothing with the lowest latency — for calm, mostly stationary setups.
Balanced (Recommended)
Smooths out typical engine idle vibration without overcorrecting.
Maximum
Everything in Balanced, plus hard rejection of sudden spikes — for rough idle or bumpy ground.
Remote Viewing
Watch the live level on a second phone while you place the blocks — perfect when you're leveling on your own.
See It in Action
Two phones, one live level, no internet needed. A short video on YouTube.
Watch the video ↗Before You Start
Two Phones with Level RV
The level phone stays in the RV; the second phone goes with you to the wheels.
The Level Phone's Hotspot
The phones connect directly over it — no internet or mobile data is used.
On the Level Phone (in the RV)
- 1
Open Remote Reading
Go to Menu → Remote reading.
- 2
Tap Share This Phone's Level
Then turn on the hotspot. On Android, tap Open hotspot settings. On iPhone, open Settings → Personal Hotspot and turn on Allow Others to Join.
- 3
Wait for the Second Phone
Sharing starts by itself once the hotspot is on. When the second phone connects, the app returns to the leveling screen and shows Live view active.
On the Second Phone
- 1
Join the Hotspot
In Wi-Fi settings, connect to the level phone's hotspot. Only needed the first time — the phone reconnects by itself later.
- 2
Open Remote Reading
Go to Menu → Remote reading.
- 3
Tap Read Level from Another Phone
The app finds the level phone and shows its live readings on the leveling screen.
While Connected
Status Pill
Takes the place of Set as Zero and Reset. Green: connected. Blue: waiting or reconnecting. Red: the level phone is paused.
Beeps & Voice
Audio cues and voice guidance work on the second phone too — switch them on in its top menu.
Disconnect or Stop Sharing
Tap the status pill — on the second phone to disconnect, on the level phone to stop sharing.
Screen Stays On
The second phone keeps its screen on while connected, so the readings never go dark mid-adjustment.
