I'm sure this rudimentary stuff for you seasoned RV'ers. Where is the best place to position a level and is it beneficial to get the ones that mount permanently?
If you have a motorhome I place mine in the center of the floor behind the cockpit, then to the center of the MH, finally as far back as I can get. I don't like the permanent level as I still would want my handheld. Just my way,might be more ideas to come. Happy trails! Jerry

I have the side to side level affixed to the dash and the fore and aft level to the drivers door. When I pull into a site I can tell very quickly if I'm level with a glance to the levels. I don't have levelers, but use a graduated board of laminated 2 x 8's. Each half bubble out is one step on the board. Makes leveling easy.
My leveling system tells me when it thinks its level... but still a bubble level on the floor behind cockpit to confirm... and adjust till it is happy.
Even tried s smart phone level app... was pretty accurate too - just lay the phone down flat.
I measure the level in the bottom of the freezer on the refrigerator, the fridge is the most important thing to have level, especially if it is an ammonia fridge. I initially measured the fridge level side to side and front to back with the slide in after doing auto level, I took a second measurement after extending the slide, the fridge was tilted about 1/4 bubble out of level front to back. I releveled the coach to get the fridge perfectly level with the slide extended and then reset the auto level zero point. Now when I use auto level I know the fridge will be level with the slide extended.
Not sure of you particular leveling system. I have the Lippert LCI auto leveling system. But even with that, it needs to be set up properly so that the coach is level. The website has the documentation to assist. If system is manual, I would recommend using a 4' level near as possible to center of coach if not wanting to install permanent levels outside.
