We purchased a Grand Design Imagine 2670MK earlier this year and love it. I would like to install a side to side level on the front. This would require screws into to front of the unit. Any concerns?

Installing side to side level on front
Collapse

I have seen folks install their level down low on the front plate that is part of the frame. I would think screws in there would be fine. I would be reluctant to put screws into the rock guard or front cap for a level.
I still have to put mine on. I am planning to mount the side to side on the rear with adhesive. My wife always helps me with the side to side and putting it at the rear is more convenient for where she is stationed with a walkie talkie when getting into a site.Mike & Lisa

I went with the Levelmate pro as well. Took a little while to get used to it. (Sometimes it measure different than you expect. Like instead of telling you your right side is high 1 inch, it tells you your left is low 1 inch)
I use an anderson levelers (well, the Generic Camco version) so I just slowly back onto them watching the phone on my dash mount.
I figured I spent $25k on the trailer, I could spring $100 for a decent level that I didn't have to work hard on.

Use glue or adhesive. Avoid drilling holes where water can be forced in. However, another vote for the levelmate pro. The convenience factor outweighs the $100. My wife didn't want to spend the money but when I told her I valued our marriage too much, she approved the purchase. Now it's all on me! Ha. Waiting for my andersen levelers to come in (4-6 week wait) to make the leveling easier versus the adding blocks/boards.

Note, you have to buy two. (Camco doesn't sell them in a pack of two). I paid $52 for both of them shipped to my door with 2 day shipping.

I can't buy a level mate. My DW wife is my level 'mate'. Seems with every piece of technology I buy it replaces one of her jobs. She is starting to complain that I won't need her . . .Mike & Lisa
