Waypoint 1

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. 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. 2

    Tap Set as Zero

    The app records this exact position as "level" going forward.

NoteYou can calibrate on flat ground OR any position you prefer as "level".

NoteTap Reset to restore what the phone assumes is the default level — with the phone flat on the table.

RV Dimensions

Enter your vehicle size to enable wheel-by-wheel leveling guidance.

  1. 1

    Open Settings

    Go to Menu → Settings.

  2. 2

    Enter Length

    Front ↔ rear axle distance.

  3. 3

    Enter Width

    Left ↔ right wheel distance.

Why It MattersThe app converts tilt into real-world corrections (cm / inches per wheel).

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.

WarningSensitivity affects smoothness only, not accuracy.

Vehicle Image Selection

Select a vehicle image matching your RV type for better visual guidance.

  1. 1

    Open Settings

    Go to Menu → Settings.

  2. 2

    Tap Select Image

    Opens the vehicle image picker.

  3. 3

    Choose Your Vehicle

    Select the image that best represents your vehicle.

Why It MattersThe app uses the selected vehicle image to visually align leveling directions, making it easier to understand which side or corner needs adjustment.
NoteChoose the closest match to your RV (camper, van, trailer) for the most intuitive guidance.
