FWIW just for grins I ran some numbers. If I am doing it correctly 1 deg off level is around 3.5 inches on a 220 inch wheel base. We are seldom in a place that far off level.

Every RVer has to determine just what's important or, of value in any phase of RVing. It's certainly not my place to TELL people to make their coach perfectly level. It's their coach, they can do and operate it as they please. If not being perfectly level is your choice, then so be it. We often encounter campsites and even RV Park pads that are not level. About 99.99% of the RV pads we've encountered are close enough that the HWH 625 Computer Controlled Automatic Leveling System installed in our '04 Itasca Horizon will handle them easily and, do a fine job of leveling the coach to pretty much dead level.
We have also encountered very, VERY un level campsites (in the Sierra Nevada camping areas) that I needed all of my lumber I carry and more. We're the type of folks that don't like our interior doors closing or opening on their own, or, the fridge doors won't stay open when you're retrieving or putting items away, things like that.
I've done this leveling thing for so long, I can tell within almost seconds, how much I'll need to drive on or, raise or lower the coach on one end or side or, adjust both ends at the same time to get it primarily level. I say "both ends at the same time" because, there's been many times when I had to drive up on lumber on one side while I've already dug holes for the other side. Then, when I move forward, the one side drops into the holes and the other side raises.
That way you don't need to go ultra-high on the one side to accomplish the goal. Then, as usual, I just use the jacks for fine tuning and stabilizing. It's a preference thing.
