Automatic levelers - Max height difference

Newby question.

We have a Fleetwood Class A with automatic levelers (and SnapPads). No where in the manual does it say what is the maximum difference between a front/rear or left/right jack height.

If I'm trying to level on a small slope what is the maximum distance in inches between the front and rear jacks or left to right jacks before I need to add some sort of pad/block to the leveler pad so the jacks don't become over extended or fail to level?

Ex: If I'm parked on a slight slope and the front of the RV is 6 inches higher than the back end is that sufficient or do I need to bring leveling blocks to make up the height differences?

Thanks!

Find out what kind of leveling system you have and the information should be easier to find. Most likely something from here https://www.lci1.com/ under the support tab. Show a picture of your pad and jacks and we can help you out.

I have never liked leveling by raising any of the tires off the ground. Our Big Foot hydraulic levelers will not even activate to level if it is too far out of level. I carry some wood block to place under the lower wheels to get it closer so that it will level the unit. You will also need to carry some blocks for the jacks as they will have to extend farther.
