the bit that bothers me most is the side to side angle....not the front to back angel. (but I do like to sleep with my head slightly raised)
obviously a block under both front and back wheel on the offending side makes a big difference.

we've trimmed down our un-needed stuff over the last few years.....but our 2 cheeses stay nestled against our bog box for speedy deployment.

sounds like this s very much down to individual habits.

Yep there's obvious deals to be done here - all those who own levelling chocks but don't use them, sell them to those who like their baked beans to stay on the plate, but don't own levelling chocks.

With the resulting £££, you could invest in some of this kit to help you sleep on the most extreme of slopes without chocks:-

Too high and steep a block and it acts as a chock and you can't get up it without burning your clutch out.
Spent the day on Teignmouth car park where the River emerges which had a slight slope and fridge wouldn't work without them.
