I have one of these levels [

So, when backing the trailer into a campsite I can see which side needs to be raised and by how much. The DW is in charge of placing the "blocks" under the tires and does a wonderful job of it.
I also have a level, similar to this,[

Obviously, before you install the levels, make sure you have leveled the trailer using a carpenter's level (or similarly reliable tool). Check the side-to-side and front-to-back levels several times before you permanently mount a level on your trailer. I devised a tapered peice of wood to mount the level on the front of my TM, and make it "readable" from my cab, due to the angle at which the front cap slopes inward from top to bottom.
I hope this helps you make leveling at the campsite as easy as possible. Happy camping.
