How to level camper WITHOUT moving it (no blocks)?

So our travel trailer is finally on the land however it's really wedged in and there is no way to get a car back in there to move the camper back and forth to put blocks under tires on side that is lower.

What other techniques could we use for leveling it side to side (not front to back - that is fine).

We were thinking maybe some stabilizer jacks could help. It doesn't have any front ones now. Thoughts?

Any other ideas since we can't do it correctly with leveling blocks?

    Whatever you do put the jack under the spring pad on the axle. anywhere else could damage the frame/suspension.

    Really - I think it's applies to most rvs, campers, travel trailers, etc.

    You might get a better response if you posted in the TT forum instead of the Motorhome foum.

    Well we pulled in and then I have to drive out over a couple huge boulders which ripped up the under cairage of my car (not too bad I hope). It was the only way to squeeze it into this little oasis of a spot on our property. It will never be moved out of there.

    Don't have a regular jack.

    I'm confused: How did you get the trailer in if you can't get a tow vehicle to it?

    A floor jack to raise the wheels, will work. I wouldn't count on using the stabilizers to lift the trailer. That's not what they are designed to do.

    Use a bottle jack on the low side. Raise it enough to level and then put blocks under the wheels and lower it down again.

    or

    Dig around and under the tires that are on the low side and let it settle into "level" in the hole.
