Well, you could have a hydraulic leveling system installed. Wonderful but very (at least in my opinion) expensive, around $3,000. My old '84 class C has the HWH levelers on it and all of it works except the feedbabk panel that's supposed to tell you how to level right from the driver's seat. So I crawl back with a carpenter's level, check the coach floor, and go back to the controls to adjust some more. The jacks are the core of two of us being able to set up on a campsite within ten minutes from leveling, to power, water, water heater and range pilots lit, etc.
You could consider adding four corner jacks like you see so often on travel trailers, plus there are jackable stands you can set under the corners and turn a screw to adjust height, kinda like a piano stool. Get you a Camping World or some such catalog and you'll see a lot of options. A caution! Do not jack in a way that twists the frame of your coach. My system has four control levers which would allow me to do just that by raising just one corner. The new jack systems use a joystick control that forces you to raise/lower either one end or one side at a time in an attempt to prevent racking the frame. AND, Welcome to the RV lifestyle! You have all you need to have a great time! God Bless, jd

Welcome to the wonderful world of RVing.
I rarely need to use leveling blocks..try this..park your motorhome so it is perfectly level (side to side and front to back) then take 2 stickon levels,which can be purchased at any RV parts store, and attach one on the upper center of the windshield and the other on the passenger side door area (just forward of the door glass on the stationary portion of the door frame.Make certain that they are leveled also. Now when your pull into a site watch your levels..you will almost alway find a spot or position where your rig is very close to level if not perfectly level!
Lots of Luck
