The easiest solution is turn the coach around and lift a front wheel off the ground.
Not sure how this was directed but wanted to clarify in both of my scenarios no rear wheel (dual) was ever off the ground.

My second scenario where I was backed in on a driveway incline had the two front wheels abut an inch off the ground. I put chocks on the rear wheels, but said I would never do that again without the leveling blocks that I would make or buy.

I do have question. Are you saying Thor & Lippert are saying you should NEVER use leveling blocks under rear wheels if you intend on auto or manually leveling?
