You’re an experienced camper. This is about as basic as it gets.
None of us know the bearing capacity of the soil you’re setting it on.
But even ifn it does settle a bit, you have these nifty things on each corner that work with the push of a button called leveling jacks….
Or go visit the thread started by the guy in Cananada a couple weeks ago. There’s like 6 pages of nothing but supporting the jacks of a truck camper 101 there.
Or I'll save the need for any other replies or speculation. Cut 4 2xsomething boards or 12"x12" pieces of plywood 1/2" or greater. Basically anything that's about 1sq ft of area. Use that. If that's not enough, you will likely get your shoes sucked off your feet from the mud before you actually make it to the camper steps.
