Pnumatic car jacks for leveling?

Yes I have lots of hare brained ideas and quite proud of some of them! Has anyone tried the bellows type air jacks for leveling? I have a 02 Roadtrek class B and it seems like anyplace I park the front is too low. No suspension issues, just the nature of things. I always carry a compressor so air is not an issue.

Well maybe theyโ€™ll be more stableโ€ฆ.
Not sure if itโ€™s comparable to your bus though.
Was the bud air suspension that you could manually level with or singular unsecured bags like you pictured?
Iโ€™ve leveled the truck camper by inflating/deflating add on bags as well. Big difference if itโ€™s got the stability of the vechileโ€™s road suspension attachments or not.

My bus conversion had a 3 point air bag leveling system, worked exceedingly well. Been using boards for many years and a bit tired of it.

I recall the air pillow things from 10+ years ago. A friend just mentioned these last week. Not sure if they're available in the US.

I think you will find it rather bouncy but I can't see any safety issues.
