On large coaches you must park with the rear higher than the front, The parking air brakes are applied to the rear wheels only, so when you use the leveling system you should not/can not lift the rear tires off the ground or you will slide down the hill and possibly bend your jacks.
So the site slope may be the reason they are driving in.
This is not the case on a TT or 5er that just pivets on the center axles but a long wheelbase coach is it an issue.
We had that happen with our previous coach (raising the rear wheels off the ground) at the American RV park in Albuquerque. The new area has all pull-through sites and are angled upward.
I put down the leveling jacks which raised the rear to level. Early, early, in the morning I felt a vibration. We were slowly sliding rearwards on the leveling jacks. So, I started up the engine, raised the jacks and leveled on the air bags, problem solved.
The new coach has air only leveling so we'll never lift the rear wheels.
Safe travels,
