I didn't think sleepy meant you sort of line up 2 inches off in the rear and a inch off the other way up front and let the camper slip wedge itself into place as you lower away...
Our camper often find itself standing on 3 legs during jack operations. One of the rear jacks will exhibit daylight under the foot. It's a sturdy made in Canada camper, eh?
I never leave the truck lined up so as to place lateral force on the jacks as the load transfers from truck bed to jacks or vice versa. I do as many forth and backs as necessary to line up sqware under the camper. Then I close the dump valve and inflate the truck's air suspension and pick up the camper. :) Then I run the jacks the rest of the way up, no load :).
These line up blocks would work great to keep the camper situated rotationally speaking in the truck bed and to make that last little alignment.
Nice simple set up.
