My vehicle is rarely camped on a 'dead level', when wild camping you take what you can find.

Not like motorhome and caravan owners who use a spirit level and chocks .........

Alternatively a 50W solar panel on the roof, which has maximum sun catchment.

That’s interesting you’ve mounted the panel dead level, years ago I was involved with a solar panel test on a very early development EV we found that roof panels (or any other horizontally mounted) gathered a lot more dirt than one with a slight (even 3-4 degrees) mounted, after much investigation it was found any rain or dew attracted dust which when the water dried stuck, when there was even a slight angle the water flowed off to a great extent (the panel were all polished with a hydrophobic chemical, now called Rain-X)......made a huge difference to power output after only a few weeks in this country, well Germany also!

Well I dont suppose it will ever be level!
Have a look around and see if any cars are running or parked exactly level.

Old people's care homes have solved that problem. To keep them from rolling over, falling off their beds and hurting themselves, they give everyone over 75 one low-dose Viagra with their evening pills. 2008 US LR2 SE, 6-cyl gas

Good news. Reason I ask is that I have seen an issue where if the brake pedal is not set just right and you are pushing on it from the side or at an angle, the lights come on but the car won't start. Soon as you press the start button the lights go out. 2008 US LR2 SE, 6-cyl gas
