KD Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 hi all, as our house is split level where our mh was kept i could see the roof of it from my lounge. i noticed rain wasnt running of the roof in all areas and a puddle would form, this creating a dirty possable damp patch. i have now moved the mh to park it on a slope. can anyone see any problems arising leaving it on the slope long. dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 For years i have deliberately parked with the rear low to run off the water, no problem to me and less to the roof methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 When I used to keep our motorhome on our drive (its kept in the workshop now) which is level I used to put the levelling ramps under the front wheels to put a slope on the roof so that water would run off. Never had any problem arise from doing this. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 'Slope-parking' is standard practice to avoid water pooling on a motorhome's roof. I was advised by the dealer who sold me my first 'van to check whether water collected and put something under the appropriate wheels if it did. With my current vehicle I use 3 paving-slabs per front wheel. 2 slabs are positioned in line astern and the 3rd sits on the slab farthest away from the motorhome's front. I drive the motorhome on to the rearmost lower slabs (which raises the front wheels sufficiently for rain-water to run off the back of the 'van) and the higher front slab stops the vehicle from hitting what's in front of it (the wooden enclosure round a heating-oil tank).

fred grant Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 ....... though derick U forgot to mention that if you parks it like that for too long then the coachbuilt body will adopt that shape eventually. if this appens you will then need to park it on the flat for your water to drain off. also looks a bt funny on the road. probably a bit difficult to sell as people will think your suspension as ad it. fred (i is back)! PS dont appliy to vans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianR Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Just one precaution to take - put a chock under one wheel rather than leave the handbrake on all the time. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
