FAQ
How accurate is the iPhone sensor for RV leveling?
The iPhone's built-in gyroscope and accelerometer provide accuracy within 0.1° when properly calibrated. This is sufficient for RV leveling, as most RVs are considered level within 1-2° of horizontal.Do I need to calibrate my iPhone before each use?
Yes, calibration is recommended, especially if you're using a phone case or if the camera bump affects the sensor reading. The app's zero-point calibration feature accounts for these offsets.Can I use this app for any RV type?
Yes, RV Leveler supports both motorhomes (4-point leveling model) and trailers (3-point leveling model). The app adapts its calculations based on your vehicle type selection.Download
