You're destined to drive up on blocks or use jacks.
Little level indicator eyes can be had very cheaply from RV and possibly
even from hardware stores.
You'll just have to get it level in your drive then start removing blocks
to get the tolerance.
My fridge works with a 2" slope across the van or a 6" slope lengthwise
on the van.
(I mostly park with my engine end up a little, like to sleep on the
incline. Acid reflux)
