I level my TM before opening. It is easier to open the shells when level. In an earlier post I mentioned my big ugly level just above the front window cover to get me close to level from inside the TV. I keep the crank in my TV along with my drill. Some advise, invest in a 18V cordless drill and a 3/8" 90 degree anchor bolt. You may have to have the bolt ground down some to fit easily, but the drill/bolt combo will save you untold amounts of time and labor in the leveling process. (Some people use a 1/4" allen wrench, but I prefer the rounder bolt).

Stick with it, backing will become so easy in such a short time you'll wonder why it was so difficult in the beginning.

P.S. I'd rather be in Corpus this weekend too. I just can't afford it with my three week trip coming up at the end of this month.
