How do you level a motorhome front to back?
How do you level a class C from front to back, if you don't have automatic levelers? This would be necessary at a lot of sites. (I understand side-to-side levelling with blocks under the tires as...

We use stepped blocks that I made from 2X6's. I put handles on the sides so I can pull them out easily when breaking camp.
Yes ... leveling only front to back is the same as leveling only side to side. Now for the real challenge - having to do both at the same time to get level ... lifting the front or the back along with having to lift one whole side of the RV. I call this "3-point" leveling because lifting three of the four corners of the RV is required.
For whenever we might have to deal with this with our Class C, we carry along 5 step blocks plus some additional short pieces of 2x6's. 5 step blocks are required for the worst case 3-point situation of 4 step blocks (plus a piece of 2X6) for raising the four rear tires and 1 step block (plus a piece of 2X6) for raising one of the front tires. If we can't get level in the above situations, we are at the wrong campsite and have to move on ... which does happen at times.
Often we don't want the RV level. We may want the rear to end up slightly high for better sleeping.
