I always level manually. I don't trust the auto algorithms not to lift the back wheels off the ground. if it did, I have no parking brakes!
When we first got our MH, I parked it on our driveway, which has a very slight slope to the street. I put a 24" level in the bottom of the fridge, then lowered the jacks until they just touched the ground. At that point, I carefully get the rig level in both axes as shown by the bottom of the fridge.
Then a put two of those stick-on levels, one on the bottom of the TV cabinet to show left/right level and the other on the driver's side window to show nose-up/down level.
I check the site we're given to see how far out of level it is when we're still on the wheels, then use a minimum amount of jack extension to get the rig level. When we stay at our daughter's house, their driveway slope needs full extension at the front with 6" pads under the jacks. The front wheels are off the ground and we need a two-step ladder to reach the bottom step on the coach's retractable steps.
