I wanted to know how others level their living quarters trailer? I have a 28 ft with just the jack to remove it from the ball. I look for a level place to park then drive up on blocks or dig holes? Pain in the butt.. Can I mount sis or jack on the corners or is there and "Easier" way to get level.. Happy level camping.. Mary

Easiest is a system I saw on a motor home... completely automatic, with built-in jacks at each corner. I'd figure that as very costly... but, effortless.
I just back my rig onto various planks to level it side to side, then use the landing gear to level it fore and aft... very cheap and not too much effort involved

I keep some oak 2x6x12's in the back of the truck for this. Decied where you are going to park, place the boards, move trailer onto boards, no magic or rocket science involved. Quick and easy. I can't remember when the last time I had to do this. I always seem to find an area that's pretty level anyway. I don't really care if it's perfectly level or not. I leave a little slope for the water to run off to the rear, ain't taking it to the fair expecting a blue ribbon for leveling a horse trailer!

I bought a bag of plastic leveler blocks from the Wal-Mart RV section. They look like large legos and store in a nylon bag. Takes up very little storage space and works great.

I don't know what they are rated,but,I do know that we used them to help level a 3H Platinum LQ with a 10 foot short wall,not a light trailer.And they worked fine.

I use the plastic "lego" blockes with my 3H, 3'mid, 15" LQ with slide that is heavy!!!! They are great but if the ground is saturated, it might be better to use boards. I bought 2 packs of the legos and they are easy to store. A hint for leveling... get the bubble type levels of RVs and mount them (using a level, of course) under the GN and on the drivers side of the front of the trailer. No more guessing!
