How I level my trailer
Okay it is only a pop up, but the procedure should work on any trailer with jacks at all 4 corners and a tongue jack.
First, get yourself some of those inexpensive level indicators. Place them on the front, left side, and buy an extra one for the back.
Start by "eyeballing" the trailer as it sits, BEFORE you disconnect the tow vehicle, and decide if you need any spacers under the tires or not.
Now with the tow vehicle unhooked and move out of the way, lower the tongue jack until the trailer is clearly leaning forward. Place/lower your 2 jacks in the back and raise the tongue jack until your trailer is approximately level, front to back. Check the rear, side to side level. Likely you will have to lower the tongue jack and adjust on or the other rear jacks.
With the rear level side to side, raise the tongue jack until you are clearly above level (nose high). Place/lower the front jacks. Lower the tongue jack and check the front side to side level and the side front to rear level. Adjust as required.
This may seem like a lot of fiddling but using the tongue jack is a lot simpler than trying to jack a corner (unless it is a tiny amount).
