I used a scissors Jack from Camping World and it great stabilized the Scamp. Very rarely did we ever find a perfectly level camp ground. I use a battery powered driver to raise and lower the side jack. It came in a dual pack from Ryobi.
We used the Lego type blocks at one time, but saw recommendations for the Anderson Leveler, got one, and love it! Makes leveling much easier from side to side. We still use the Lego style blocks, but only for placing under the rear stabilizers (we have a huge block of wood for the front).
When we pull into a campsite, we check the side to side level, and then use the Anderson leveler on the low side. Once it's level side to side, we set the chocks on the other tire and unhitch. Once we unhitch, we lower the tongue so it's slightly lower than it needs to be, unfold the rear stabilizers, and put as many Lego blocks as we can under the stabilizers so they don't need to be extended as much. We then extend them by hand so they set on the Lego blocks (we never use the bar to raise the stabilizers) and once they are touching, we go back to the front and crank the tongue so it's level (about 7 turns). This puts some of the weight on the stabilizers but not too much.
The less you have to extend the stabilizers, the less the camper will rock.
