Nothing needs to be level with respect to setting up a WDH. What you do want is something flat from the front axle of the TV to the rear frame of the TT. Your goals as camp-n-family said are getting the trailer frame level to slightly nose down and getting the front axle of the TV the same height/weight as if no trailer is hitched. This thread may be helpful.

Check your owners manual, there should be a very comprehensive chapter on setting up tow rig for towing.

It's a hole lot more than just hooking up and going, you need to balance the weight of the trailer and the TV.

Take it to a parking lot, the flatter and smoother the better.

Initial set up should be done on a flat and level surface. Measure the trailer frame from the gound at the front and back to level it. Slightly nose low is best.

Once the hitch is set up and you know how many links to use etc, the settings usually stay the same so you can hitch it anywhere. Doesn't have to be flat or level.
