I'll use the torpedo on the tongue and also on the floor to get an idea of where it's sitting.  I've gotten a bit better at guessing how many Lynx blocks I need to adjust the bubble (haven't sprung for the bal leveler yet).  I remember the first Thanksgiving Rally I went to and Joe helped me get backed in.  With his first glance even without the level "looks like about two high should be about right" darned if he wasn't dead on when we put the level to it.

I started out with a level on the tongue.  I found that I got a different reading depending on where it was so I thought it was unreliable.  I bought the stick on levels and leveled it with a regular carpenters level on the floor and then stuck the stick on's on.

I use a torpedo level on the tongue.  I'm not sure if it's the best way but it has worked for me.

I have a bubble level on the front and side of the camper.  I also use the small square type inside near the fridge.

We use two stick on levels, front and side.  Seems to work fine.  I check them once in a while with a 4 foot on the floor of the pup to see if they've moved.

When I bought our camper I uses a 4 foot level on the floor to set the trailer level. Then I put stick on levels on the front and sides.

I primarily use bubble levels attached to the side of the camper, then use a 2' level on the middle of the floor periodically to verify that it's correct.  My fridge and stove/oven are across from each other, and the middle of the floor is right between the two, so I'm probably about as close to perfect as I can get.

I'm the choo choo train here with square wheels...Our pup came with a stuck on level, it was not accurate.  We "eyeball" level first, take out a 3 foot level and put on top of the pup...Check level front to back, then left to right...make corrections as needed...hasn't failed us yet...then raise the roof..  O0

Some of the best advise I got from a moho camper shortly after I offered my level to them as they 'setup' as part of the group in a pasture.

We'll be here all day if we use a level!

We use a Hopkins 09715 trailer level attached to the tongue. Very, very nice level.

I use a torpedo level.  Since I have the roof cranked up a few inches.  I set the level on bottom rail where the roof sits when down.  I do the side and the front.
