Looking at the laser method I can see it works well IF:
-you have long pad to straight the truck at the distance
-pad if flat
You are correct. At home I don't have a flat, long pad. I use the laser to help me get into position initially and I get the truck bed under the overcab before I raise the jacks to full height. I usually have to make slight adjustments while I'm under the camper. Once the jacks are up I look down the rail of the bed on the driver side while I'm backing in. Stopping and getting out along the way to check the clearances.
You can move around a bit if you turn your wheels to their max and then move forward or backward a few inches.
The ultimate would be to have a huge garage and casters under the jacks. Then I could just push the camper onto the truck.
