Can you tell??
Would one assume the following campsite has a little slope to it?
Took this pic today at a local State Park CG......, my only concern was that only one tire had a tire-block against it, and it was on the slide side of the TT that had wood under the tires leveling out the TT side-to-side slope. It's hard to see in the pic, but the front (slide side) stabilizer is fully extended.

One can only assume he had to dig out a 1' deep ditch in the back to keep the bumper out of the dirt

Re: Can you tell??
I have gotten stuck on sites like that before with no option to move to a different site....... it was miserable and I wasn't rel thrilled about it. I would never put my tounge jack on a bottle jack like that though! I agree I would be afraid to move in the camper!

I don't think it's a bottle jack, it looks like the "flip jack" that you can add to your jack, they actually work pretty good. Otherwise, I agree, I wouldn't trust it in this setting either.

I don't think its that important to be EXACTLY level......maybe get it pretty close to level and keep it at a safe unlevel. Or pull the camper in front ways and let the back end hang up in the air.

They will probably be all right as long as....
1. The wind doesn't blow.
2. There are no earthquakes in the area.
3. They do not attempt to get inside the RV.

I have camped on a few sites like that. The only problem is I kept getting nose bleeds
