On my slab, I like the motor home in a certain spot that gives me just enough room to use a ladder front and rear and equal distant from my wall and house on the sides. Once the coach was exactly where I wanted it, I painted a 2" wide red line about 12" long at the edge/center of every tire. I also painted a short 6" red line that lines up with the joint between my two bay doors under the driver's window. As I back in, I line up the tires and then stop when I look down from the driver's window and see the 6" line is lined up with the joint between the doors. I marked all my tires because I use mud flaps on the ground to protect the tires. Often they'll move when I take the motor home out or clean the slab and I can quickly put them back where they are suppose to be.
It will take a little bit to set this up, but once done, you never have to do it again. You say you have to place ramps. By painting the lines on the ground, you'll also know where the ramps need to be placed each time. Add a second 6" strip that tells you to stop for the ramp placement and then keep backing until you hit the first 6" stripe.
