Where is "level" determined on a fifth wheel?

Can't believe so many of you are apparently operating without levels permanently mounted for fore & aft plus side to side where you can't see them from your front leg switches.

You are running back & forth, inside then outside with a carpenters level. Really???

Not me just to set up the small levels that are attached to the fifthwheel for front to back and left to right.

I put a level in the refrigerator then on the outside ..and the levels are set.
I've been to many many r_v factories .......if you think they take time to level the fridge with the rest of the trailer you are nutz......:S.....
They SHOVE the fridges in "place" screw down,on to next thing..

Takes a experienced RV worker ,about 10 seconds,to put Fridge in,and mount...:E

what time is it??? I have 2- 6'8" levels and a different brand but yep I used them to install doors but when the doors cost in the thousands I used a plumb Bob. The more a door cost the easier it is to do a fine job. Pride is everything.

I also have looked into the toilet bowl. I have used a water level for years installing cabinets.

I am curious as to where you get a 6' 8" level?

Edit, never mind, I bet you mean donuts.

Stabila for one makes a 6'8" level. They are typically used for hanging doors.

I have seen adjustable length levels, but never a six foot eight one, it would be nice.

Here is one on Amazon

Stabila 37532 Jamber 78-Inch and 32-Inch Aluminum Box Beam Level Set

Some folks make far too big an issue out of perfectly level. I leveled mine once, on the floor over the axles. Screwed levels to the outside, and never give it another thought. If your stove or your fridge were so far out of level with the floor as to matter, you have some serious build issues.
