I level side to side with planks and then fore/aft with the tongue jack while the TM is closed. I get it as close to level as my 6 inch level will allow.

After I open the TM, I set a frying pan with a little water in it on the stove. I use the corner jacks to level the TM so the water is in the center of the frying pan.

The fridge is within specification, the door works properly and the bed is not leaning.

fwiw, I chock my wheels so tight that it is not possible to kick them out. When leaving I have to pull the TM forward a bit with the TV to get the rear chocks out. Very tight wheel chocks contribute significantly to stability when walking in the TM.
Sounds like the same procedure I use (minus the fry pan). I put the level on the floor inside the door for my fine tuning. In my early trips, I would double check various surfaces (counters, stoves, fridge, etc.) but I found that they all seemed to 'average' around the floor. So, now I just use the floor reference for final tunning. All my systems work and we never feel 'tilted'. Fine tunning doesn't ever take too much.

I actually use the TV to tighten my chocking. Put cocks to the rear and back into them, put chocks tight in front and let it 'settle'. Requires TV to release.
