couple of tips...prob. old hat... I have a couple of little plastic "bull's eye" levels in the trough of my Westy, I con usually find one to set on the stove cover and see how level the van is. I like it slightly higher at the front. If the van is off side to side by a little, I use the jack on one of the rear jacking points to raise that side slightly. Just a little, not to lift the wheel off the ground or anything! My friend hauls 2 jacks around for that purpose. An added bonus to the jack system is that it "stiffens" the van up a touch, less rocking due to any upper berth activities (if you know what I mean).
