Leveling with half of a Lynx block??
We use those Lynx blocks (they look like giant Legos) to level our trailer. Works well, does not slip, easy to store and to clean. But every so often, a stack two blocks high is not enough, while ...

I really like Dutchmen's solution -- very "outside the box" thinking. By raising the high side a little, the low side has to be raised that much more, getting us out of the in-between stage. Very clever, and thanks!
I am going to try that trick on our next trip. I always bring a few 12 x 18 inch pieces of three quarter inch thick plywood, so I would just try to level with the Lynx blocks. If I get into the "too high or too low" trap (as sometimes happens), just back the trailer down off the blocks, slap my plywood under the high wheel, readjust my Lynx blocks if necessary, and we're level!
I can't wait to tell DW about this, for a couple of reasons. First, she'll laugh at herself for not thinking of this on her own -- this solution is exactly her kind of reasoning. And second, I am always bragging to her about the membership in this forum and the clever solutions that you folks often come up with -- this will prove my point!
Someone suggested using the stabilizer jacks. My jacks are not strong enough to significantly alter the level. And I am concerned about putting a lot of force on the chassis -- this little trailer was designed as an ultralight, and the frame is nothing like the underside of my truck! ;)
