My trailer tongue and inside floor are pretty much level with each other, so I use 2 of the small cheap flat (non curved)stick on levels. I placed one them on the front of the trailer for side to side leveling and the other flat face up on top of the tongue for front to rear leveling so I can watch it when running the tongue jack up and down.

5th wheel level on the front of the trailer so I can look to see how many boards to make it level side-to-side then a magnetic bullet style bubble level on the front frame for front to rear and to double check side to side.

I use these.







They come with several different scales. With a little testing you will find a scale that is very close.

I like the scale as when I need to add leveling blocks the scale indicates how many inches of leveling block is needed. I have found when it indicates 2 inches that is exactly how much leveling block is required.

Also with my 5th wheel when I have raised the 5th wheel to the height to disconnect I note the reading on the level. Then when it is time to reconnect I raise the trailer to that point and then the trailer is at the correct height to reconnect.

The door of my fifth-wheel makes a very accurate level indicator. For fore-and-aft leveling, open the door 90 degrees and see which way it swings. For side-to-side leveling, open the door slightly and see which way it swings.

Any type of bubble level will work. If you mount them to your rig, be sure it's level first!

Large Level Master, mounted to the trailer's front wall with LePage No More Nails tape. Side-to-side level is easy to see from any angle, any distance, while trim screw allows centering the front-to-back level bubble. :B

We use a LevelMate Pro. It's a Blu-Tooth device that is mounted in the RV and calibrated. It then links to an app on your smart phone. I put the Andersen levelers under the wheels on one side of the fiver and then just roll onto them until the phone tells me I'm level from side-to-side. After unhitching, the system does the same for me front-to-back by adjusting the landing gear (tongue jack in the case of your TT).

I have a Master Level attached to the front of my trailer. Love it! It's very easy to see in the mirror.
I have a much smaller generic level mounted on the side of my trailer where I can see it while operating the jack. I'm out of the truck at that point, so the front / back level can be small.
