One of my Canadian friends gave us a matchbox gmc model which he painted to
resemble our coach. I use it as a leveling device. Put it on the dinette
table or the counter top and see if it rolls. If it does, I grab my remote
control and adjust the ride height until it stays put. Works for me.

It is a lot faster to lower the coach than raise it. When I level for
camping I start at travel or full raise (which I switch on while arriving)
and maneuver around the camp site until I find a spot where the front end
is low then lower the rear to level. This almost always allows for a low
step in and out of the coach as well.
