Magnetic Caravan Spirit Level – Mini Two-Vial Pocket Level with Ball Chain

Magnetic Caravan Spirit Level – Mini Two-Vial Pocket Level with Ball Chain Getting your caravan level makes everything else work better. Doors swing properly, the fridge runs as it should, the shower drains and you sleep without rolling to one side of the bed. This RV Essentials Australia Magnetic Caravan Spirit Level gives you a quick, reliable bubble reading in a compact 100mm body. It sticks to steel surfaces for hands-free checks, and it's easy to keep with your keys, in the glovebox or in a drawer in the van. Two Vials, Two Readings This pocket spirit level has two bubble vials set at right angles: Horizontal vial – sits along the top edge and shows when a surface is level Vertical vial – sits in the open window and shows when an edge or post is plumb (upright) The long bottom edge has a metal strip, giving the level a straight, flat reference face to rest on. Built-In Magnet for Hands-Free Checks The built-in magnet lets the level hold itself onto steel surfaces, so you don't need a spare hand to keep it in place. That's handy when you're winding the jockey wheel or adjusting ramps and want to keep an eye on the bubble at the same time. Try it on a steel chassis rail, drawbar, tow bar, steel toolbox or other ferrous metal. Most caravan walls and many fittings are aluminium, fibreglass or composite, which a magnet won't grip. On those, simply rest the level on a flat surface instead. How to Use It to Level Your Caravan 1. Pick a good reference surface A bubble level reads the surface it sits on, so choose one that's flat and follows the line of the van. The floor inside the door, or a flat benchtop that's square to the van, usually works well. Avoid cushions, mats or anything that isn't flat. 2. Check side to side Lay the level across the van, from one side wall towards the other. Watch where the bubble sits in the horizontal vial. If it drifts off centre, raise the low side with levelling ramps or blocks and check again. 3. Check front to back Turn the level 90 degrees so it runs along the length of the van. Adjust the jockey wheel until the bubble is centred. If your van has a steel drawbar or chassis rail that runs true to the floor, you can also stick the level there and watch it while you wind. 4. Lower the stabilisers Once both readings look right, wind down your stabiliser legs to steady the van. Then do a final quick check. Handy Uses Around the Campsite Checking that an annex or awning pole is plumb, using the vertical vial Making sure a portable fridge or freezer is sitting level Setting up a camp table, kitchen or stove on uneven ground Squaring up a TV bracket, shelf or small fit-out job inside the van Everyday jobs at home, such as hanging pictures A Realistic Note A compact level is ideal for quick checks. Its short length means it reads a small area, so for the most accurate result, check more than one spot on your reference surface. If you're doing major chassis or construction work, use a longer level alongside it. Mini Spirit Level or Cross-Check Level? If you want a level that stays mounted on the caravan and shows both directions at a glance, our cross-check caravan level indicator is built for that job. This mini spirit level is the portable option. It goes wherever you need it, reads level and plumb, sticks to steel for hands-free use, and hangs on its ball chain until you need it again. Many travellers keep both. Why Buy from RV Essentials Australia RV Essentials Australia is an Australian-owned supplier of caravan accessories and RV parts, run by people who build and use caravans.
