Scamp 13' vs 16': Length Sensitivity in Leveling

Definition

How the shorter wheelbase of a Scamp 13 affects leveling precision compared to the 16 model.

How It Works

Scope: This guide covers scamp 13' vs 16': length sensitivity in leveling for US users.
Rule: Use vehicleSpecs["Scamp Trailer"]["13ft"]["sensitivity"] as the canonical sensitivity for leveling calculations.

Specification	Value	Notes
Length 13' sensitivity spec	TODO: Add 13ft length sensitivity spec (needs official source id or JSON key)	Length 13' sensitivity spec for Scamp trailer
Length 16' sensitivity spec	TODO: Add 16ft length sensitivity spec (needs official source id or JSON key)	Length 16' sensitivity spec for Scamp trailer

Examples

Scenario	Angle Measured	Block Height Required
Front-to-back slope: 2° pitch	2.0°	Front: 0.5", Rear: 1.5"
Side-to-side slope: 1.5° roll	1.5°	Left: 0.75", Right: 1.25"
Combined slope: 1° pitch + 1° roll	1.0° / 1.0°	Varies by wheel position

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.
