Yeah, I sorta agree with downtheroad. First thing you need to do is get over the idea that level has to be perfect. It doesn't.
So some will level the stove, so their eggs cook well. Some will use the fridge, thinking that it needs to be perfectly level to operate (it doesn't).
I just drop the level on the floor, if there is a solid surface area. Try to get as close to over the wheels as possible, because all trailer frames will have a crown, and will sag forward and rearward of the axles. But even that won't really matter, because it is not that critical.
So I use the floor to level it once. Then, while it is level, attach levels to the outside of the body. Then never check it again. Just use the outside levels when parking.
