  • Patent number: 4058292
    Abstract: A system for leveling a vehicle parked on uneven terrain is disclosed. The wheel of the vehicle on the lowest position on the terrain is determined together with the relative amount that the low wheel must be raised to level the vehicle. An inclined ramp is adapted to be disposed proximate the low wheel of the vehicle, and the ramp is nonrigidly linked to the vehicle at a position on the vehicle disposed relatively behind the base of the ramp. The linking means includes coded indicia to indicate the appropriate length of the linking means required to allow the vehicle to travel up the ramp until the vehicle is substantially level. The vehicle is then motivated to cause the low wheel to travel up the ramp until the linking means becomes taut, to stop the vehicle in the level position.
