So do you all use level jacks of some sort ?

We have a light-weight travel trailer. When we get to our new site, we level from side to side with blocks as soon as we arrive. It takes us one time and we are done. Front to rear is handled with the tongue jack. After leveling is done, we deploy our stabilizers to remove the wiggles from walking around inside. The stabilizers are lowered to the ground and then we turn the crank 2 full turns to tighten it up. The entire process usually takes 5 minutes, tops. As far as staying indoors the entire time I am at the campground is entirely foreign to my way of thinking. We go camping to be outside. We prepare our meals, eat them and wash our dishes outside. I can stay inside at home when the mosquitoes are bad r when it is 95 degrees in Wisconsin.

My RV did not come with jacks so I use 2 x 8 planks with tapered ends to level the RV when necessary. The "bouncing" doesn't bother us, I don't know if we are just used to it or what but we just don't notice it.

I have Equalizer Leveling System on my MH.
When I get in my site I push Auto Level and the air bags dump, the jacks extend and level the MH front to back and side to side. This system works great and I have not had any problems with it in the 14 years of traveling. These jacks will raise my MH completely off the if I wanted.

Once we have our coach positioned on the site, the first thing I do after turning off the engine is hit the "Auto" button on our Bigfoot jack panel. While the jacks are taking care of leveling and stabilizing, I'm outside connecting the power cord. As soon as the levelers are done, one of us runs out the slide and we're essentially done for now. Water and sewer get hooked up as needed, or for an overnight stop, often not at all. On a rainy day, total outdoor time can be less than 5 minutes. We would not have another coach without hydraulic jacks, although auto-leveling would not be a requirement. I installed Bigfoot manually operated push-button jacks on our previous coach and we liked them nearly as well as the current auto-levelers.

Nope. Level by boards/legos. TT doesn’t bounce enough to use stabilizating jacks so I removed them. Saved 40 pounds.

Most of the campgrounds I use in Oregon have pretty level sites .. haven't had to level my RV in many years.

Don't know yet about the auto self-levelers. I haven't had this camper long enough. I've done the self-leveling at home and this is our first week-end camping with it. But last night, we slept at home in the drive way, hitched, with all slides out, and no jacks down. Unbelievable, there was less movement with this camper with no jacks down then there was with my previous travel trailer WITH jacks down.

I've been using, first Powergear, and then HWH jacks as a full timer for 15 years now and find that I don't really need ramps at all because of the parks I stop at these days have mostly flat sites. At least I suppose that's why. In all those years, I only felt the need to drive up on a plywood riser once or twice. Usually, I'd just find a better site, get permission to move to it before setting up.

I do carry some Home made landing pads to put under the jacks that help out with soft or uneven ground, and I bought some of those snap on platforms, Snap Pads that attach to the landing pad of the jacks. Those are all I use 90% of the time now and they are very convenient.

So, yeah, my jacks are very important and I'd hate to lose them. I'd really work at getting them fixed and that recurrent issue resolved if I was blowing hoses.

Sometimes simpler is just better

After my lipperts died a costly death with long hospitalization WE are back to boards. Just like the old 19' Class C. A little awkward but it works.
