Other options than using leveling jacks

I do believe the OP was talking about an Hydraulic/Electric leveling system on his Motorhome, not stabilizers. You are correct, you shouldn't use stabilizers to level your camper. The whole point of hydraulic and electronic leveling systems is to level the camper.

I guess some folks never heard of boards.

I have used a 20 ton hydraulic jack along with a pair of 12 ton jack stands. I can get all 6 wheels of the fifth wheel in the air if needed.

Creative? Take a shovel and start digging holes for each wheel until you get it level. :)

Personally, I would use blocks. They're simple, easy and get the job done.

lynx ? camco ? leveling blocks

DIY board leveling blocks, better use 3*10 blocks of oak

Creative no.
My gasser has no leveling jacks.
I use a level and boards. Put boards on the low side of the MH and drive up on them.
