Wide wood planks under the levelers distribute the load. If you have to raise wheels off of the ground to get level, it is possible you are also extending your levelers themselves a bit too much, in that case, I put more wood under the jacks.
You will always hear that you should not let either of the rear drive tires leave the ground. That is because in most coaches, the parking break simply immobilizes the drive shaft. Since the rear differential is open, both tires need to be on the ground to keep the coach from moving.
Some people have stated that in a situation where they have to raise one of the rear tires off the ground, they will put wood planks under that tire to retain contact. I myself don't view a piece of wood as a very good surface to hold friction on soft ground if it should rain. For that reason, I carry a pair of HUGE wheel chocks. If I ever need to raise a rear wheel, I will chock the one that is still firmly on the ground with the chocks and the front wheel with 2x4s.
