Levels or flashlights?

I have a Makita flash light. Rechargeable battery works with my Makita dust buster and Makita drill I use for lowering my stabilizers.

We carry a torpedo level that I hadn't used in several years. Until the last camping trip in October. The trailer has two levels screwed on it that I use. One of them had been broken during the trip. I had to find the torpedo level and use it to fully level the trailer.

I use a combination of the stick-on bubbles and a 36" bubble level. I use Lynx levelers for side to side and tongue Jack for front to rear. The 36" level works well on the side of the slide-out and you are very near the tires to gauge the effectiveness of the levelers so you don't spend all day with a poorly leveled pad trying to get level.

I put a 2' level on the back bumper to get trailer level side to side then use a tongue mounted bubble for the front to back level. It is important to get the unit as level as possible before running the slides out. I use step ramps for the side to side leveling and the electric tongue jack to level the length.

I always have a 4' level in the back of the truck during camping season.

I have an 18" lever used once for verification for my digital rv ezlevel that I got as a gift. I'll use the 18" inch level as soon as the digital level breaks.

I use the bubble level app on my I-phone. Verify it by bathroom door and my sense of level when standing in the middle of the coach. Of course leveling is the first order of business before we bust open a Bud Light! Leveling sense is less accurate after the bud light gets opened.

I am with DocBrown, the stick on bubble levels have served me well enough in sixteen years of pulling a travel trailer

I carry a 2' level and use it every single time. Best way. We open the door and put it on the floor and level both axis.

I have (small levers on the front and driver side of the trailer. Use a 2' level inside the trailer middle of floor just to check before putting slid out.

I stopped diddling with blocks and crap 2 years ago after I found these:
I have one of these mounted on the left front corner of the trailer:
Now, I pull into my campsite within a foot of where I want the trailer to sit, place the above chocks under the appropriate side tires, back up (or pull forward) until the level I'm watching in my mirror is centered, my wife chocks the wedge with a mallet, set the parking brake and I'm done. Front to back leveling is done with the power tongue jack and some cut up chunks of 6X6 treated.
No more of that back and forth, oops I need another or one less board silliness. This beer tastes much better if you don't have to waste all that time leveling. PLUS, you don't need to haul a pile of lumber, these things are surprisingly light, they're easy to clean and won't rot. While they're not inexpensive, in the overall cost of everything else, its a drop in the bucket...its a no-brainer.

I just keep a standard 9" torpedo level just inside the door, we check the side to side and front to back by just placing the level on the floor just inside the door.

I have the Bullseye leveling system installed on our 38 RDQS 5th wheel. I touch a button and less than a minute later it's level.

I carry a 2' level, torpedo level, and have two stick on levels on the front.
I do like my LevelMatePro which I have only been able to use once since having some technical issues with the BT unit.
If you do happen to purchase this unit, don't be discouraged by short battery life as there is a simple fix. The fix is as simple as changing a setting on the app to make the BT unit go to sleep after an hour of not being used (default is seven consecutive days). LevelMatePro website spells it all out. LevelMatePRO - Wireless Vehicle Leveling System
All in all, now that the battery holds up, it works very well and makes it worth every penny (along with my Andersen Levelers).

I use a small torpedo level. I put it in a frying pan on the stove, level and a quarter turn and level again. I hate it when my eggs slide to one side.
