Yes and no. Many people do not know what a 40% slope feels like and want to stay within the safe working limits of the vehicle. Therefore a gauge which tells them the slope, is actually of great help and may well indeed prevent someone from rolling over.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Very good point PhilD, I hadn't thought of that. My experience with such analog gauges is that as you bounce around, the gauge flucuates so wildly that it is most difficult to get a reading, especially if you are turtling.

But without a gauge, I might "think" that I was really pushing the envelope when only driving across a 30% slope... Maybe I will install the gauge just to check the accuracy of my "pucker". Who knows, maybe I've only been daring to take on those wicked 20% slopes?

Have you exceeded the 40% mark with your H2 yet? After looking at the various Lev-o-gage models that Sun Company lists, I think I will opt for the Model 3 that reads up to 26 degrees. If I max that out, it will be more than ENOUGH for me, as my pucker gauge will quickly confirm?

Thanks for the heads up on the gauge...
