You can determine if it is level or not, but you have to take readings in many different areas; when a MH becomes "out of level" what usually happens is that the house becomes slightly torsioned, so that in some spots the floor may appear to be level or just slightly out, but in other areas, it can be more significantly off.

But unless you have the training and experience, don't try re-leveling your home yourself. Leave that job to the experts.

Brian, if your concrete pad is subject to frost heave, it will make no diference if your peirs are level or not.
