What do you use as a stop here marker?
We had our driveway extended for the motorhome and it now ends with about a 30 inch drop off! The concept for us is to drive up to a certain point from the edge, which of course you can’t see, then...

Thank you for all of your replies so far, but as the old cliche says: A picture is worth a thousand words!
We temporarily have two trashcans with a wooden stick as our marker. The angle of the picture does not show it, but from the drivers angle when the stick is exactly at the corner of the mirror, STOP, and put the leveling board in place. The guys who put in the blacktop said that you should always park on boards so that the tires do not slowly sink into the blacktop over the years.
We need 1/2 inch under the RF, 1.5 under the RR, 3 under the LF, and 3.75 under the LR to be perfectly level. I “recently decided” NOT to use the light in the flower pot (left edge of picture) in place of the trashcans.
We constructed our ramps so that you first drive up on 1 2 x 10 then come to a comfortable stop, then you drive two of the tires onto their second 2 x 10 and the driver’s rear has a built in stop that keeps you in place.
The point is that we are perfectly level once we are on the custom ramps.
Plan A is to use some of that driveway sealer to make a small circle where the “new stick” should be placed. The circle will be a few inches larger than the base of the stick so I can see it as I drive up to be sure the reference stick is in the right place.
