I also put my spirit level on the drawbar. The angle iron which the fold out support rests on for 'roll' and the drawbar itself just behind the towhitch for 'pitch'.

But I'm a bit concerned that you say the door won't shut if the camper is not level. We've never had any trouble like that with our Sterling, and it sounds as if either the door is faulty, or the camper body is somehow being distorted.

You're not using the corner jacks to level it are you? This can cause the trailer to distort and is not a recommended procedure.

I use solid wedges under the wheel at the low side, and the jockey wheel for levelling.

The curtain poles are just a poor design I'm afraid. On the trim which is meant to cover the awning zip, ours has two small rings attached to elastic which I assume is meant to be pegged down. I've never bothered though, but perhaps I haven't experienced winds sufficient to keep me awake. Snoring tends to be the issue in our unit!

Whilst still attached to the car level it side to side, (if required tow it on to a ramp) checking with you spirit level on the drawbar. once you have it level side to side chock the wheels so they cannot move. unhitch from the car and use the jockey wheel to level front to back again using your spirit level this time on the bed bases. Put the handbrake on firmly. Now put down the corner steadies but only just take the weight DO NOT try to level using these as they are not designed for that purpose, doing it this way will cause the chassis to warp and you will have trouble shutting the door

Regarding the curtains - poor design I'm afraid but I solve it by putting an elastic band round them at the join, it just prevents one from slipping inside the other. you still have to be careful though.
