My driveway isn't level enough to level the RV without at least 1 wheel leaving the ground. I live on top of a hill where it's pretty windy. I'd rather have my 40' by 14" "sail" with all 4 wheels comfortably resting on something. If we get a good wind, I don't want the RV to bend the levelers. I know - small chance - but still a chance.

Like I said - some say yes. Others say no. Keeping the wheels on the ground is certainly the best solution...

The Thor MC advice is the rear wheels should always be on the ground with enough weight on them to keep the coach from sliding. The worry is the coach sliding on the jack pads. It is ok to let the front wheels dangle, although the first step may be high. We experienced the problem at the KY Horse Park RVP where if we backed into our spot the rear wheels would be of the ground. We drove in and with 2" of wood under the front jacks, we were able to level the coach. Fortunately we carry a fold-up 7" high platform (left over from our previous coach), so just an extra step to get in or out of the coach.
