Plumber...Everyone has their own way of setting up and leveling...Mines easy because I only do it once a year in March...Permanent campsite on a Lake...
First time we did the old up on block, then back up and add a block, back up again and add another block...That stopped immediately...
I got a 3/4" thick 4x6 Horse Stall Mat and cut it into 6 pieces 4 foot long...I pull onto my spot and lay a 4 foot level right up against the door...Raise it to level...Measure how high the level is and multiply times 2...With an 8' wide trailer it works perfectly and I end up in the bubble everytime...
Back up ONCE and lay how ever many mats down as needed...Any extra mats go on the inside of the mats being used just for storage purposes all year long...Pull up on the mats and you're done...Stabilizer Jacks down and tongue jack levels front to back...Don't sweat it...
Hint...If you have gutters that will drip water on your head when accessing a storage compartment...Raise the tongue jack as much as needed to get the AC water or rain to all roll off the BACK of the gutters...Won't hurt a thing...And you'll still be in the BUBBLE of the level...
