Under-Bed Storage: To Modify or Not?
Many RV owners find the factory-installed drawers under the bed awkward or insufficient for their gear. Removing these drawers is a popular modification, but it is not as simple as pulling them out.
Before you grab your drill, check if the drawer frames provide structural support for the mattress platform. If the frame is load-bearing, you must replace the support before removing the drawers to avoid sagging or platform collapse.
Leveling Myths: Anderson Levelers and Blocks
Nothing ruins a trip faster than an improperly leveled RV. We see it all the time: users misapplying Anderson Levelers by placing them on top of thick, uneven blocks or using them in configurations that risk stability.
Anderson Levelers are designed to work on firm, relatively level ground. When you stack them on unstable blocks, you create a potential for the rig to slip or tip. Always follow the manufacturer's specific guidance for placement and tire seating.
The Truth About Parking on Raised Blocks
Using blocks to level your RV is a rite of passage, but doing it safely is non-negotiable. Whether you are prepping for a stay at [RV Park Name](http://rvparx.com/park/placeholder-url) or a seasonal site, safety comes first.
- Always use solid, rated leveling blocks instead of wooden scraps that can split under weight.
- Ensure the ground surface is firm; soft dirt or gravel will shift as you back onto the blocks.
- Double-check your tire contact patch to ensure the wheel is fully supported, not just resting on the edge of a block.
