Leveling Questions

Our's sits on a seasonal site most of the summer. I've found that even if I level it 'perfectly' when we arrive, it will settle one way or another after a couple months because of heavy rains, runoff etc... The easiest way to relevel it has always been using my floor jack with a block of wood under the spring hangars and raising it to slip a board or piece of plywood under the wheels. I do one wheel at a time.

Do this.

Yes, using hydraulic jacks.
Alternatively, you could have a friend with a truck or SUV connect up and move it the small amount necessary. Quite frankly, for what you need a Ford Ranger with a 2 inch ball will work.

There are different solutions based on when and where it will be parked. Is the surface soil, gravel, asphalt, concrete, etc? Will it be permanently parked in this location? Will the owner of the property require that the wheels and tires be left on it?

Give me just a little more information about your plans and location and I can come up with a solution that best fits your needs.

The OP has already said that the dealer won't level it.

I'll be interested to see the replies you get, since I will be having a 36 footer delivered to our permanent site next October.

I am not sure how you will level it from side to side, with out a tow vehicle, but in my case I can move it onto boards or lynx levelers with my tow vehicle.
Then I will level it from front to back using the tongue jack.
Once it is all level, I'll use concrete blocks as pilings and capstan jacks, (screw type) with iron shims to get it permanently off the wheels.
Then I'll remove the boards or lynx levelers

Yes, with a couple of hydraulic jacks and blockage assuming it's parked in a reasonably level spot.
