    re-level after a few days

    We like to camp at various boon-docking sites which do not have paved or even gravel spots. The ground is usually just dirt but pretty compact. After a couple of days, one or more tires, stabilizers, front pods, whatever sinks an inch or more into the earth (even with lego blocks under them!).

    So, is it better to hit the "auto level" button again?
    Or to just manually adjust the offending sinkers?
    After a manual adjustment, does that clear out the ability to run the "hitch up" sequence?

    Maybe you should consider a better base than the plastic blocks. 2x10 or 2x12 make for great bases and can be expanded out if needed.

    I have used Auto-Level with success after extended stays. It goofs up your Hitch Height setting though. No biggie.

    I agree. Chunks of lumber will spread the load out better at your contact points and should minimize sinking.
