Hmmm, I have often wondered about why some want to level the base. I have setup my 20" on a very strong slope up at the Snake Valley club grounds ( that is strong slope for a paddock, not for the Tour de France!!!) sometimes and it has never been an issue for the Argo. The only benefit I could see is that with the Go To motors, a non level base may put undue strain on the motors is some configurations? But even so it would have to be a fair slope even then.
