Hi all.

My son is doing an electronics project a college and has come up with a litte idea which assists us mobile folk. I have tried to attach the xls sheets however I dont think they will work.

If you would like to assist him with his market research I'd be highly appreciative, it will only take 2 miniutes. Pleaes email me for a blank form if you cant download the sheet direct from this forum.
Thanks

I don't recommend that anyone send their email address to anyone in this manner. We have no way to know how it will be used, and it is very likely that our email address will be abused.

Adrian, why don't you just post your questions here and let us discuss what you are asking for? Everyone has to be cautious with email. If you want information from forum members, just ask.

Hi there,

Understand your reluctance to share email details however there are 25 questions on the sheet so I think it may be too awkward to post here. All I can say is that you can rest assured your email adress will be treated in complete confidence and I will not share nor distribute to any third party.

If anyone can suggest an alternative way to share this xls spreadsheet I'd like to hear it.

That said I have cut and pasted the 'PAPER COPY' I have below.....maybe this could help?? Thanks in advance toi any one who helps.

Adrian, your post says that you are from the European continent. Over here we have many different types of "assists" for leveling.

I just use some bubble levels that are mounted on the wall. They were "calibrated" as they were mounted by first leveling the MH with a long carpenter's bubble level.

The youngsters learning programming and electronics tend to over-complicate the leveling process. Getting the MH level with a bubble level is just fine for most folks and equipment.

I wouldn't pay any more than the price of a good carpenter's level for a leveling system, but that's my opinion.

I agree withh Tex, I also have a bubble level on mine and a carpenter level to make sure it is level or close enough. No since in getting to complicated. JMHO

As for me .. mine has a bubble levels.... But half the time I don't brother leveling.... everywhere I've parked so far been good enough for the propane refrigerator..... and good enough for me :eek:.. and as Hollis say if it cost more the a good carpenters level forget it, (Auto System), when I do level it takes me about 2 or 3 min. so why install something that may or will need fixing someday... I believe in KISS:D (Keep It Simple Stupid :excitement:
yes, I use a DC power cut off, but the wall clock has it's own battery... good for a year.... I also has a clock radio with it's own battery but it will recharge when I turn on the DC power, so far it was fine after months of non use
As for backing up a camera is good if it has sound even better ( mine came with it) I would repair or replace it if it went bad. as for cost whatever it cost
Good luck

If my wheelchair does not roll away, then it is level, most of the time when we traveled I use a bubble system after the level system, cheap and pretty accurate
