Our thanks to everyone for all the advice. Our community association required that if you park a RV on the side of the house it cannot stick out beyond the front of the house. We are lucky that our driveway is on the left side of the home so we can pull in and have the door facing the house. We extended the driveway so we could pull in far enough and the watershed fall is 1 inch front to back tires and 2.5 inches side to side. Unfortunately this makes the left rear ramp 3.5 inches, and to be exact if the right front is on a 0.5 inch board, what works perfectly is a 3.75 inch ramp. Including a 3 inch high stop at the end of that ramp, if we left it permanently in place we would have to drive over a 6.75 inch bump to get the left front onto its ramp.
We definitely do not like the two step process, drive to a fixed point, get out and position the ramps, and then drive up onto the ramps! But, it does work for us and we are perfectly level once we pull in.
