Unlevel parking
Hi all—our ‘07 22’ TK is parked for a month at a time.  Water seems to pool on the solar panel and at the front cabover.  I am thinking about running the front wheels up on ramps so that the water will run off.  I road exercise the unit and the generator each month.  Is there any danger in parking it one ramps on an incline for a month at a time?   Water intrusion has not been a problem as yet and I inspect the seams regularly.  Thanks for your help.

As long as the fridge is off, should not be an issue.

That's the way I park mine. I learned about Lake Newton with a shower to the head and shoulders right after buying this rig. Why those guys stuck with that design is beyond me.

Also easy to inspect and grease the front end stuff when it's up a few inches. I use three 2x8s which raises it 4 1/2"

Hi Chartrue2;  My '99 T/K (23.5') has always been parked unlevel. My driveway is just 2 inches  longer than the rig.  Depending whether I back in to the parking spot, or go nose end in, dew and (seldom) rain runs off the front or back, and also the side. The driveway also drains to the downhill side. 
    As Steve mentioned, I can't run my refrigerator while at home. (Loaded with cold food, dry ice, lit as we leave the driveway.)    RonB
