If you don't want to mess with it, send it to me. Last trip out traveling solo, I pulled into a pull through space, and was in and out of the pickup 3 times moving back and forth a couple feet each time to find the most level side to side spot, with my small levels at the corner of my 5er, in the space. Would have avoided all of that with a large level on the pin box. Take a small level inside, play with it till you are happy it's level, then stick that puppy to the front.

I wanted to get one, but DW said I didn't need it. Yes dear.
Now, she is in charge of going into the trailer and checking it with a level.
Also, if it's not level after I unhitch, I don't get blamed.

Well I think I'm gonna put it on there. May have to hook up and find a level spot because where I park it probably is perfectly level. I will put a small one on the side for front to back. Next weekend will be our first trip out with this RV. Thanks for everyones input.

Darn, why didn't I think of that? I think it's a great idea, and could save a leveling the unit. Most of us can get them level in one try (after reading the smaller levels), and this would save an entire step.

I wanted to get one of those big ones when I bought my current 5er, but the dealership didn't have any good sized ones. I can *barely* see the small one I have now, mounted with double-sided tape on the front -- if it's daylight. My eyes seem to be going fast, so I'm going to be certain to get a bigger bubble the next time.

When mounting the level for front-to-back, be sure you put it where you can see it as you raise and lower your landing gear. The first 5er I had, I mounted the level where I couldn't see it and reach the switch at the same time. **DUHHHHH**

I glad you mentioned that!
