I don't feel the need to use boards most times. However If I can see the ground sloping I may place a few boards down before I start.
If I fail to notice an out of level site, the leveling system will raise the tires off the ground.
When that happens I go back and wedge a few boards under the suspended tires to support the weight of the trailer.
While I agree It may not be a problem. I do not feel comfortable with the RV being in the air supported only by the leveling jacks. I prefer the weight to be supported by the wheels.
I don't think the "how far off tolerance is determined solely by the leveling system. The suspension system is also a factor.
How much play/travel do you have in your suspension before the wheels begin to lift? Leveling systems are relatively all the same but suspension travel can be very different. Ultimately the suspension travel will impact the "how far off" equation.
