After reading these 3 pages of posts and the 4 pages that Phil posted from IRV2 I guess the real question is when you consider the weight and space these leveling blocks take up in a small Class C, and having to get on your hands and knees to use the blocks would it be better when buying a newer C to buy one with automatic levelers especially for older folks?
You don't have to get on your hands and knees to use any of these varieties. (Believe me, I have 2 knee replacements and kneeling on them is very uncomfortable.) You can just slide them in from the side.
That's how I place and remove my step blocks. The toughest ones to physically line up correctly are the two inside ones on the rear dual tire sets.
The toughest leveling situation is when different step levels are required between tires at the four vehicle corners - when you of course have to drive forward or backward onto all of them simultaneously and stop just right while looking at the dual bubble sets mounted North-South and East-West in the cab. It took me many camping trips to get proficient at manipulating the three dimensional geometric relationships of this ... but don't despair, one can eventually get pretty fast and good at it!
