Getting to that position is the question. I know how to back straight up. ;)
Very seldom I have long driveway where I can line up several feet before the camper, but the main idea is first to get rear axle between the jacks as with 1" clearance you don't have much play and any pad slope can shave good part of it.
So I lower my main right mirror down as the fish-eye mirror is not giving me good view. Once I see my fenders between the jacks, than I raise the mirror and observe the mentioned visual gaps.
The trick is to line it up before you drive farther under the camper or your rear will go on the side. When I start with bigger angle, I have to back up a foot, go forward a foot to straight front wheels and back up again.
