This maybe a stupid question but I bought a set of levelers for my TT. How do you put them on? I knw they stick on but what do I need to do to get them where they read correctly? I cant believe it is that hard but I want some input before I mess up.

you need to level the trailer first,
both front to back, and side to side
use a 2' level on the floor in front of the door,
once the rig is level, place the little guys where ever you want them.
Hunting is not a hobby. It is much more life sustaining than that.

I think I would use screws to keep them in place, the glue pads that comes with them are not the best. In the heat the levels can sag or slip off.

What I found was the main item (fridgagator) was not level with the floor... or the kitchen counter... or the bathtub. It seems the frig of today doesn`t require quite the absolute (tolerance, not vodka) level of yesteryear (from what I`m reading in my own manual and opinions here) so......... what I did was split the difference.
I took level readings from the counter and the frig shelf and the frig door and the tub drain and the floor. Since they were pretty close, I averaged them and biased it to the counter (I know, I`m sick) figuring the frig would be close enough and I didn`t want counter spills running to the back of counter and down the wall, I`d rather have it coming towards the front so I can clean it up. Once you level the trailer to where you want it, carefully and accurately place the levels on the front corner of the trailer exactly level. Keep in mind the trailer will tip a little toward the super slide when out. You can fine tune with the jacks if necessary as long as you don`t get carried away. I add Lynx-blocks-per-line reading the bubble on the low side and fine-tune it in with the slide out and jack pressure. Just play around with it til you get used to it.
It`s probably not as important as it sounds, so have fun with it. Makes a great excuse to drink beer and sound important while the DW admires from affar.

I have two bubble levelers as well to attach to outside of TT. Why couldn't I just use a level and attach the levelers to the TT. If the bubbles are level then the TT is level.

Get your TT level and then place them on it. We have ours on the front streetside corners, that way we only have to look at one place when we are leveling. Good luck!

I'd check the level on the "floor" of the freezer. once it is level, then apply the bubble level indicators.

if your unit is not level side to side......just get the reading off a 2 foot level with your sticky with it and make note where the bubble is.......i.e. 1/2 marks off..........then apply your sticky bubble in the same reading as you read it inside.........

I placed mine, small ones on the A frame.
I don't walk very well so any thing I can do to keep from walking I do.

I followed the advice of others here and set a level in the freezer and used that to level the trailer....WRONG. After I did this I stepped back to look at the trailer and found it to be wayyyyy off. I took a good look at the freezer floor and found that to be a bit wavy so there was no way to get an accurate reading. Instead I set a level on the floor after checking several different areas to make sure they were all the same.
