Common thing. When backing into a site, you want to use your leveling blocks to make the slide side a little higher when retracted. Then when the slide is out, it all levels out. Then put stabilizers down. Takes a bit of practice to get it right. You don't have to have an equal number of blocks under both wheels on a side. You may find you need to fine tune it by adding just one block under a wheel. If you level with the blocks all around, after a while you should get to know what extra to add on a side.
If you have electric stabilizer jacks, you may very well find that they flex too much and won't keep your TT level enough once the slide is out. That's what happens with ours. Elec. stab jacks are self-leveling when they go down aren't used for leveling the TT. I don't think it will work right to level with them first and then put the slide out. If you have manual jacks, then it's different.
Yet another RV-ing trick you need to learn.
