    I prefer regular levels....  https://www.walmart.com/ip/Camco-25503-Utility-Trailer-Level-Pack-2/16783111    is what I have.    2 sets - one in the cockpit and one in the cabin.    The set up front : one on the door and one on the dash (gives front to rear and side to side).  In the cabin, I have one on the front and one on the side of the refrigerator cabinet.

    I parked somewhere that was completely flat, tires properly inflated and airbags at matching settings.  Used a regular carpenters level to verify frig cabinet was level - then stuck levels on - they come with adhesive.

     

    Sounds like a plan - thanks!

    A bullseye level will be used to get your rig level for operating the refrigerator. Initially place it in the center of your refrigerator freezer tray and get it level by using leveling blocks under your wheels. Once you have it level find a spot on a counter that matches the same as the freezer tray. That way you don't have to keep opening the refer door to get level.

    Ah....OK, that makes sense. It is on the list - thanks!

    Yeah, I'm with you hunkaman, the 10 x 10 is a good idea, and I have a decent one from camping days....fully intend to use it. I'll look at leveling blocks too. I will likely use a stainless steel french press for coffee - after having gone through half a dozen glass ones, I finally dropped for a stainless steel one and it is great! 

    Thanks for your input.

    Hi All

    I have just purchased my first RV - a 1991 Toyota Dolphin!

    I have been searching the internet for 'essential accessories' for my RV.....I don't know what I should get to support good times.

    I am keen to purchase 'essential accessories'. Some of what was suggested as 'must haves' I don't perceive to be, such as 'portable meat smoker'.......(tho for some I'm sure it is.....)

    Anyway, for a newbie, anything I really must have!?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks. Yeah, I know it was on the 'recall' list. What I had hoped to find out is whether or not it had actually been done. Some people are indicating it is possible to find this out. So far I have not been able to find that out. I'm trusting that it has been done at this point, and bought it knowing it might not have been done anyway....:)

    Yeah, I'll for sure do that. I was kind of miffed when they fobbed me off like that.....just didn't want to deal so closed me down basically. Not cool.

    Now that I have some validation by you guys, I will pursue it again. 

    I don't even know what the SPA and SCC stand for I'm afraid......my VIN is: JTVN94T7M00022509

    Hi Linda S

    Thanks for taking the time to write. I don't understand the document that you sent. Sorry. As I said, when I entered the VIn Toyota site did not recognize it, and then I called and they said that they no longer have that information as they 'sold' it to someone else.

    The VIN is: JT5VN94T7M00022509

    Hi Stayingretired - thanks for your input. I did try and get confirmation from Toyota using the VIN, but they declined saying that had no records now as they 'sold' it onto someone else and would not tell me who....right!?......so as far as I know, there is no way of knowing or finding out. (If you know different, for sure let me know. However, I trust the dude had it done as he appears to have cared for it very well indeed...and why wouldn't he!? 

    It is an automatic and so I will take your advice and Flush transmission....anything else I should have done while it is at the garage....? I'll also look at the lights and all the seals. No leaks reported or seen, so unbelievable really, but true it seems. I'll be looking out for that though as it is super common on all RVs so I hear.

    Many thanks to all the folks here for advising me on this - I appreciate it!
