#1. My wife likes to cook outside of our camper under the awning. We usually move the picnic table up next to the camper and away she goes, cooking up a storm with her electric skillet/frying pan. What would be the most feasible product to put on the side of the camper to stop the grease splatters on the side?? Something that would be easily put up and down and cleaned. (Magnets don't stick to aluminun siding). Don't know if anyone else has this problem or not. I do know that getting the grease off is a problem......
#2. The previous owner installed a front to back level, LF corner. I would like to install a side to side on the front and possibly on the rear of the camper. Where would be the best place(s), and should I put the level up against the bottom of the aluminum paneling as "O", zero leveling point? Reason for rear level is for frig to be level and operate properly. Should I use a Carpenter's level to ensure that the camper itself is level? On the back bumper? Or, up against the bottom edge of one of the pieces of paneling??????
Any ideas, suggestions, input will be greatly appreciated!
I had a 5th wheel trailer and the level was mounted on the side by the access for the leveler jacks. Also there was one right in front in front of the trailer. I had that one put on at the dealer. I also used to use a carpenters level on the back. I also had a 8" level that I used inside the trailer in the fridge and on the stove. Hpoe this helps

I tried various outside levels, not found them to be all that helpful. use an old carpenters long level. Also what also after a few years, the little round bubble levels inside at different places give you a picture of the camper, since there is some flex. (mostly in larger units) The frig needs to be close to level, and then I check a pan on the stove as well, (hate it when the food runs to one side.) I use both to seek the best level.
I cook to the downwind side of the awing so the smoke is carried away from the unit when possible.

You want to level the fridge. Get a small torpedo level and place it on the bottom shelf of the fridge, once level place your stick on levels anywhere you want too.
For grease splatter, the easiest way is to use one of those cardboard sun shades. The $$ store sells them around here, just throw them away at end of trip. Or wax the side of the TT with Rejex and the grease will wipe right off.

I also use the round bubble level on the bottom of the fridge, and set my external levels from that.
As far as the cooking goes, how about a piece of plexiglass with dbl face tape? Just stick it to the trailer side behind the stove.
I agree with Jack_Jack for the grease problem. We use and EZ-up canopy over the picinic table as the base for cooking outside. It keeps the TT clean as well as giving you additional shade.
