I installed a very large level on the front of my TT. I can see it from the drivers seat in my TV. I usually look at it as I pull through/ back in to my site. Once I get in where my hook ups are I know if I need to move forward/backward in order to place levelers under one side.

Thats exactly what I have and its awesome!

I used a bubble level on the bottom surface of the freezer and got it perfectly level. Then I installed a level on the front of the TT and zeroed it to match and that's what I subsequently went by.You don't have to have it perfect after that, you're fine if you get within a half bubble. My original frig recently died after 22 years of that treatment.

Friends of mine drink a beer to the label on the bottle and set it on the counter.

Knock on wood...so far I have not had to level the wheels on my tt. I get out and eye the campsite, try to pick one that is level where my wheels will be setting. The last trip, backed into a spot on a hill at our favorite campground, put in the chocks, raised the tongue, unhooked...put my little level on the tongue and dropped it down until level. I went inside, checked it on the table, counter and even the bathroom area. I have installed the little stick on bubbles on the rear bumper to help out..put one just forward of the spare tire rack.

I level using an l shaped fence post level which I keep in the toolbox. It is magnetic, just lay it on the a frame near the jack since it has indicators for top and side it's a snap. I do this about 1 foot ahead of where I want to park the trailer. If it needs raising on either side, back up 5/4 treated deck lumber scraps and done.

In addition to checking with level, we check the movement of bathroom door. If it will hang open halfway, we are level. :-)

Thats assuming that the door was hung true in the first place.

I leveled mine all up in the shop with a 4 foot level on the frame and the floor of the trailer. Once I got things to where I was happy I stuck a couple of those cheap level indicators on the trailer and now I just use them at the park.

I agree leveling to the stove (cooktop) using a bubble level is the first priority. I have leveled the trailer to the cooktop and then stuck those stick on bubble levels outside in the front (tounge) side to match that level.
