Whether you're setting up for a weekend getaway or embarking on a cross-country adventure, arriving at your campsite is always exciting. But before you put the kettle on or relax under the awning, there's one important task to tackle first: levelling your caravan or RV.
A properly levelled caravan/RV isn't just about comfort. It helps appliances operate correctly, improves sleeping comfort, prevents unnecessary strain on your vehicle, and creates a safer camping experience.
The good news? Gone are the days of trial and error, spirit levels, and repeatedly climbing in and out of your vehicle.
Introducing the Oricom RVSL01 Smart RV Leveller – a simple and affordable way to achieve accurate levelling using your smartphone.
Why Is It Important to Level Your Caravan or RV?
Many RV owners underestimate how important levelling really is. Even a slight tilt can cause problems such as:
- Uncomfortable sleeping positions
- Refrigerator performance issues
- Doors swinging open or closed
- Water pooling in sinks and showers
- Reduced stability while parked
Taking a few extra minutes to level your RV properly can significantly improve your overall camping experience.
What Is the Oricom RVSL01 Smart RV Leveller?
The RVSL01 is a compact wireless levelling device that mounts inside your caravan, camper trailer, motorhome or fifth wheeler.
Using built-in sensors, it continuously measures your vehicle's position and communicates with the Oricom Auto App via Bluetooth. The app provides real-time guidance, allowing you to see exactly how much adjustment is required to achieve a perfectly level setup.
Unlike traditional bubble levels, you can monitor the levelling process directly from your phone without repeatedly checking physical indicators.
How Does the RVSL01 Work?
Step 1: Install the Leveller
The RVSL01 is mounted inside your RV using the supplied screws or 3M mounting tape. During installation, it's important to position the unit upright and follow the orientation guide provided within the app.
The device is powered by two AA batteries and is designed for low power consumption.
Step 2: Set Your Reference Level
For the initial setup, park your RV on level ground.
Using the Oricom Auto App, establish your desired "set level" position. This creates a reference point that the system uses for future levelling.
Step 3: Connect via the App
Download the free Oricom Auto App from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and connect to your RVSL01.
Once connected, the app displays your RV's current angle and orientation in real time.
Step 4: Level Your RV
As you position levelling ramps or make adjustments, the app provides live feedback showing how close you are to your target level.
Rather than relying on guesswork, you'll know exactly when your vehicle is level.
The result is a faster, more accurate setup every time.
Perfect for Caravans, Camper Trailers and Motorhomes
The RVSL01 is compatible with a wide range of recreational vehicles, including:
- Caravans
- Travel trailers
- Camper trailers
- Pop-up campers
- Fifth wheelers
- Class A motorhomes
- Class B motorhomes

Whether you're exploring remote campsites or staying in a caravan park, the RVSL01 helps simplify setup wherever your adventures take you.

Common Levelling Mistakes RV Owners Make
Even experienced travellers can fall into bad habits when setting up camp. Here are a few common mistakes to avoid:
Guessing Instead of Measuring
Many RV owners still rely on visual judgement when parking. Unfortunately, even a slight slope can affect comfort and appliance performance. Using a smart leveller takes the guesswork out of the process.
Levelling Side-to-Side Last
The best practice is to level side-to-side first before adjusting front-to-back. This creates a more stable foundation and helps achieve a more accurate result.
Rushing the Setup
Arriving at camp after a long drive can make it tempting to rush. Taking an extra few minutes to properly level your RV can improve comfort throughout your entire stay.

A smart leveller gives you real-time information directly on your smartphone, helping you achieve an accurate result without repeated adjustments or multiple attempts. For solo travellers, couples, and families alike, it's a simple way to make every stop more enjoyable.
