HELP!!!LEVELING CLASS C

We have a 23-something Class C. I'm sure it'd be wonderful to have an auto leveling system. But we just move around the site a bit to find a spot that's level or close to it. I'm finicky about it as it relates to keeping my head at least level or above my feet when sleeping. Otherwise I could abide by the fridge maker's advice that if it's not noticeably un-level, it's fine.

I mounted a pair of Hopkins levels. One on the dash and one on my door panel. Mine are actually graduated differently from each other. One is for the side to side and one for the front to back. Other than that they look like these:

With those, I can pretty easily see how much the low end or side, including the lowest corner, have to come up. Then I use the orange lego blocks under the tires. I carry two bags of ten each. You're supposed to use them under both tires at a dual rear position. So that can use up the blocks pretty quickly. But still, twenty of them will cover most situations.

Andy Baird, who has full timed in a C for ten years or more, carries 40 of them! He can construct a very big lift, although he is exceeding their design intent. One aha moment I had was from viewing a photo of his:



You don't have to finish the ramp on both sides! :S
That gets you more lift from a given set of blocks.

I was going to comment, but snowman9000 wrote down my thoughts to the letter.

Interesting use of Lynx Levelers. I would agree that you would not want to stack them that high for a motor home, but I get the point.
