How do you level your RV?

Does he have to drive his Tow Vehicle up onto ramps just to hook up?
I have a hard time believing this wasn't a photo done just for laughs.

My thought was, if it moves a couple of inches forward the fall would do a LOT of damage.Kind of glad I live in an area that was planed flat by the last set of glaciers.

He better hope his insurance agent doesn't drive by. That is just ridiculous.

Chocks please.

Chocks work best when the wheels are touching the ground :B

(Okay, at least the rear of the tandem wheels are indeed touching the ground in the picture, and the front ones may be but there's clearly not a lot of pressure on them.)

So long as the cribbing is properly done, this should be quite acceptably safe. I'm not sure I trust the cribbing here; it looks rather tippy. It would be a lot better with a larger base area.

Heck, they should also be chocking the wheels of their garbage containers...:E

X2!
That is just scary, I don't see chocks but a length of heavy chain tied between the wheels.

Wow! :E And I thought my driveway sloped noticeably to the street! :W

I always level our trailer when parked here at the house so I can use it between trips and so I can safely operate the fridge in preparation for the next trip. Doing so means that while the bumper is less than a foot off the ground the tongue is about 3 feet ... nowhere nearly as extreme as that shown in the OP's pic but I still wouldn't rely on chocks alone to secure the trailer. Instead, I built my own system that uses the weight of the trailer itself bearing down on a set of wheel pads to ensure our trailer absolutely can't shift in the slightest.
