After arriving at your campsite after a few hours in the truck, with your kids getting restless and everyone else on their last nerve, do yourself a favor and level your camper before unhooking. There isn't anything more annoying than having to walk uphill or sideways because you didn't take the extra couple of minutes to ensure that your camper is nice and level. On some campers, you may have the luxury of leveling with your jacks. But in the case of a 5th wheel, the front arms come up and down together and the jacks in the back are only for stabilization. You can buy the leveling blocks almost anywhere. They are stackable and easy to store. You just drive up on them until you are level. Pretty simple. I have the blocks. but, I find that a good ole fashioned 2x6 board works as well, especially if you need to level one side a lot. Sometimes the leveling blocks will slide on you and the boards stay in place. The closer you get to being level the easier everything stays in line. I have also been told that if you have slide outs it's really important to bring them in and out with the camper as level as possible.
As most of you know, new campers don't come with levels on them. I have never figured this out. Seems that the best place to ensure that your levels are "LEVEL" is at the factory. I always keep a bullet level with me to back up the little stick on levels. I found that at more parks that have concrete slabs usually is the best place to install the levels on your camper.
I recently purchased a GIANT level to put in the front of my 5th wheel. .The reason being that the small level that I currently have is so small that I have to stop, open the back window of my truck, use a flashlight then determine which side is low and needs to come up. With big levels, you can see if it's level from looking in the rear view mirror. I'm waiting to install it, as soon as I find a nice level area. I'll let you know how it works out.
