For overnight stays I rarely take leveling serious. If it's a KOA or quality campground I'll pay the little extra for a solid surface site and just go with that. I'll lower the tongue to take a little weight off the truck and then drop the corner jacks to take the bounce out of the floor and be done with it.
At home it's parked sideways on a large sloping driveway so it's backed up onto 2x8 that have a ramp angle cut into each of them. The longest is 8' (so it fits in bed of the truck) and the other two are 12" shorter each. I line up the square ends at the back and this allows 10" or so of flat area between each bevel. I tried just lining up all the bevels but it's so steep they just pushed out if the way as the trailer touched them.
I have no experience with older RVs but have read they (refrigerators) were much more sensitive to being out of level than what we have now and would not work unless near perfect.
