I do not experience what you are referring to with our slide which is also a very large slide...comparable to yours. TT is a 26BHS but it is a heavier TT at 9500lbs GVWR. Not sure if the weight has anything to do with not going un-level while extending the slide, but the main difference I see is ours has 4 independent manual stabilizers, one at each "corner".
I had a 26ft bunkhouse at one point with a super slide as well and I think you might be on to something with the overall weight of the trailer. That is with a heavier overall trailer the slide might not make as much of an impact on the leveling once the slide is extended. Another thing would be axles and suspension setups - after all you are shifting a significant amount of weight and adjusting the center of gravity if you will.
Not sure of the OP's weight on his trailer - mine was a bit less than 7000lbs dry and around 8k loaded for camping. When I put out the slide it would change my level a tad - hardly noticeable and if the "bubble" on the level was perfectly in the middle when the slide was in it would be still within the lines but maybe closer to the edge. If that makes any sense.
At first with that trailer I would try to offset what I thought would be the right amount to make it "perfectly" level but after a few times of not getting it perfect I quickly gave up on that concept. I then tried for mostly level. I figured if the bubble is still in the middle then we good! I've never had a problem with my refrigerator with that mentality. Hopefully never will.
Seems like a PITA for you - but you worked through it even to a point of having a separate level calibrated (LOL).
