This is what I did. I don't have to go looking for the other bubble levelers anymore. I just sit in the drivers seat and check for level. Sometimes I can just move forward a few inches and find a better spot which is more level and I don't even have to get up from my seat.

Me too. If you click on the "Hoppy levels link" in the above quote you will see that they are graduated in inches so you can see how far out of level you are, and after you do the proper installation steps and get the hoppy levels installed properly, you just have to look at the hoppy levels to see for example, the front is 1 inch low and needs to be raised one inch to get level. SO I use my Power gear levelers and raise the front until I go 1/2 bubble past level and then raise the rear levelers until that bubble comes back to level. Front to rear is now done. Then look at the side to side hoppy level and adjust the low side until the bubble comes back to level. Done in less than 1 minute and never have to get out of the driver seat. Of course there are exceptions if the level shows 2 to 3 inches low you might have to use some "Leveling boards" or those "lego block" to get it closer to level before you start the final process.
But in my opinion the Hoppy Levels are the best and cheap.

The most important thing to be level is the refrig so we use a bulls eye level place in the refrig. We do have the HWH leveling system with the lights that tell you when your level, but I prefer to use the bulls eye level. Our bathroom door will also tell us if we are really level, if it swings on its own we aren't level. Good Luck!
