Both units have a controller and transceiver for wireless communication with the other unit and one or more batteries as the power supply. The level unit has one or more level sensing mechanisms to determine the pitch and roll of the vehicle. Preferably, a single dual-axis tilt measuring mechanism is utilized. The control unit has one or more control buttons to allow the operator to activate and operate the system and a display panel that displays the amount of pitch and roll correction necessary to place the recreational vehicle in its level condition.
