We mounted a Scissor jack (think ours are 5 ton each could be 7, bought at Sands RV... on each corner of the chassis frame. The front ones face front to back, the back ones face side to side. Large U bolts over frame rails. I keep 4 pieces of 2x10 x 10" in the basement compartment to put under each foot if on mud/sand etc. Place so grain is perpendicular to foot of jack. pat rigged me a 18" long piece of tire…</p>

I put my bubble level app on my phone and sit that on the bumper in the middle as I run the jacks down. I have an actual small bubble level that sits in the fridge on the bottom shelf as you should level for your fridge to use for final tweaks. If rain is expected I'll put a little tip into her towards the back end as yup windshield has always had a leak that 6 years of resealing has not found.... but not more than a little tilt. </p>
