I have a 2019 new Aire 3341. I used to store it indoors, But the pricing has gotten out of control. So now I am going to keep it in my driveway. However the driveway is not totally level . I have a seven inch diffence from back to front and about 3 inched side to side. The question i have do I always need to level it when just parked in the driveway?

Needs to be level if opening/closing slides and/or running fridge

Just parked.....no

If it's gravel, more rock and a mini excavator is your best bet. Use a vibratory roller/compactor when finished, well worth the cost IMHO. If ones not readily available have the dump truck driver make a few passes over what you have before he dumps the new rock.
If it's concrete or asphalt, sounds like some creative cribbing is in order under the tires and jacks. Shoot it with a laser (or level) and strings to see where your at first. It'll save you a lot of what if's. Mine was off three inches front to rear, two inches side to side. Than next load of gravel made it perfect without guessing. Your going to love having the coach at home.

Just parking it is fine. You can even leave it plugged in with the refer on. We're level on our side yard and do all the packing and opening of the slides when it's there. Before a trip, we move it to the street to be washed. When in the street, it's as unlevel as yours and we don't open the slides, but keep it plugged in.

If you want it to be more usable in the driveway, you can make some ramps and use them when it's parked.

You’re fine as long as your aired up, if you leave it there for a while and you loose air, air everything up before opening or closing the slides. Definitely keep is plugged in…

I have the same issue when we bring the coach to the house to load. I use ramps on the down hill side. Camco makes some stair step ramps that are rated at 12,000 lbs. Light enough to carry from the garage. It doesn’t get perfect but certainly close enough to open slides.

Good advice has been offered. The only time that I feel being not level hurts anything is that if it twists the rv or trailer. Then I would somehow do what’s necessary to relieve the stress.

Are these wide enough to allow the entire width of the tire to be supported? I've looked for commercial lightweight ramps but never found any wide enough. Checking Camco's website the biggest they currently list is 10,000 lbs capacity and 10" wide.

I purchased two pair. Since I only elevate one side, I put two under the left front tire and two under the left rear dual.
