Anyone have expertise in this area?

No and maybe. You won't damage the springs or shocks, but you might have a problem with the windshield.

You don't say what year your Vegas is. My Vegas was an early 2016 with the taller windshield, and it cracked when I parked on uneven surface with one (front) wheel higher than the other three. Thor replaced it under warranty. I don't believe anyone on the forum had to replace the windshield more than once, aside from rock damage.

Later 2016s and newer have the shorter windshield and haven't had that problem. I have the HWH kick down levelers, and am pretty careful about parking on uneven places when they aren't deployed.
