To clarify on the Leveling part...
I can't easily tell when the camper is "off" the truck or not with the jacks tied down. I typically is 'off' on one end, but still "on" on the other end, front-back-side. I'll level and then bring it back down onto the truck until it just shows, bubbly gauges, 'unlevel'.

Hope that helps to clarify it...
One easy way to check for the rear, while lifting with the fast guns attached, is if you have stable loads is to watch them. As long as the stable loads are engaged to the overload spring you are not lifting the truck.
