How do you determine if your T@b is level?

Now, boys, boys!

Kidding aside, that's a common plumber's level and it works great. It's compact, sturdy, accurate, has a grove on one side for fitting to rounded or ridged surfaces, and a magnet on the other so it doesn't keep falling off your tongue. (Trailer tongue, that is...)

Mine helped build my house almost 20 years ago. Now it enjoys a cushy retirement "camping" full time in the T@B. (Wish I could say the same...)

I got a classy silver one to match my T@B.

Red is normal best, but ORANGE torpedo levels can be seen better with all of the red accessories in my T@B

PXLated mentioned using blocks under the wheels to raise the trailer when one could not lower the front jack enough to level the trailer.  I use a BAL leveler and I ran into this situation once.  Simple solution was to spin the T@B 180 degrees.  But I was wondering if you could raise the jack, support the trailer temporarily on the front stabilizers, remove the front wheel and crank the jack back down onto a stabilizer pad.  I guess there are two questions.  Will the stabilizers support this weight temporarily ( I think so based on other threads) and second would it harm the front jack to use it with out the wheel but with a stabilizer pad under it?

I use the same level as well, only in blue. The blue ones are more accurate.

Mine is black and silver.  Not as accurate, but I didn't care as it matches the T@Bpole.

You could do all of that, or you could just carry a couple of these with you:



Couple of wood blocks is what I lower the jack on nearly all the time, never had a problem.  The other option available is a foot:
