2010 Bounder 33U Inverter Question

I am very new to RVing, and I am just learning about my motor home.

My question(s) are, should the inverter disconnect be on or off during travel?

Is it okay to put a 3"- 6" (2' x 2') high landing pad under the hydraulic jacks when there is a little too much slope?

Our inverter is always on. (We turned it off once and ran down the coach batteries. )

And yes, landing pads are a sometimes good idea to help keep the jacks from hyper-extending, depending on the slope. Sometimes you might need them under the tires, too. In that case, make sure they are big enough for the entire tire to sit on them; you don't want the edge of the tread hanging off or you might damage the tire. (And if you ever use them on the back tires, put supports under both duallys.)

For us, our inverter switch is off at all times, unless we're watching the TV's.

We carry several boards for leveling purposes. Sometimes it takes more than 1 & sometimes boards are needed under tires as well.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.
