Why Proper RV Leveling Matters and Why Following Installation Instructions is Essential.

If you’re an RV owner, you know how wondrous life on the road can be—primarily when your rig handles smoothly and comfortably. SuperSteerParts.com is passionate about providing parts that enhance your ride, whether it’s new steering components or suspension upgrades. But we emphasize one critical aspect right from the start: Always follow the installation instructions carefully.

 

Below, we’ll dive into why these instructions matter so much and why it’s also crucial to properly level your RV after traveling.

1. Safety is Non-Negotiable

Our very first instruction for installing steering and suspension parts begins with:
“Move the coach to a level, flat surface and set the brakes, or you may drive the coach over a work pit and chock the front wheels. Block off adequate space at the rear of the coach to work.”

 

Why do we say this? Because safety has to be everyone’s top priority. By starting your project on a stable, level surface and securing your RV, you significantly reduce the risk of accidents. Whether it’s your coach or a friend’s rig, a runaway or shifting RV is the last thing you want.

 

No Shortcut is Worth the Risk
Trying to “wing it” or skip steps might save a little time, but it can lead to serious (and expensive) problems. Trust us, you don’t want to discover you missed a step after something critical fails on the highway.

 

2. The Importance of Proper Leveling—Not Just for Installation


Proper leveling goes beyond comfort when parking your RV for a few days or even just overnight. An unlevel RV can affect everything from your fridge’s performance to your sleeping quality, and over time, it can place undue stress on certain components.Appliances Work Better: Many RV appliances, especially absorption refrigerators, are designed to operate on a level surface.

  • Reduced Wear and Tear: Improper or uneven ride height can gradually damage your suspension and frame.
  • Personal Comfort: No one wants to sleep feeling like they’re rolling downhill!
    If you’re on the road for days (or weeks), leveling your RV whenever you park is a small step that makes a massive difference in the long run.

 

3. Our Instructions Are a Roadmap—Use Them
We understand the excitement of installing a new steering stabilizer or a suspension upgrade. You want to get it done and hit the road. The installation guides provided at SuperSteerParts.com are by RV technicians who know what works and what doesn’t; sometimes, they learn this knowledge the hard way.


Benefits of Following the Instructions:

  • Avoid Costly Mistakes: A single overlooked bolt can cause problems a few hundred miles down the road.
  • Maintain Your Warranty: Many manufacturers require proper installation procedures to keep warranties valid.
  • Gain Peace of Mind: When you know everything’s installed correctly, you can drive your RV with confidence.

 

4. A Pleasant Attitude and Patience Go a Long Way
Installing new parts on your RV can feel like a chore if you’re in a rush. That’s why it helps to take a deep breath, follow each step, and maybe even play your favorite tunes in the background.

 

  • Take Breaks When Needed: Step away for a few minutes if you're tired.
  • Double-Check Everything: Before proceeding to the next step, verify that you’ve tightened bolts, aligned components, or completed any required measurements.


In other words, slow and steady wins the race (and keeps your RV secure!).
