Not sure how people park the van on a minor sloping site but this is the first time I've seen this method This picture came up much bigger and clear on my IPad so some detail is not clearly show
I use the plastic level ramps under the rear wheels of tug if need too wombat but only for one night stands. Also do the same with jockey wheel. Works well too.

Like you Doughwe, i use the ramps under the car as well some times under the van with an other set of ramps, only for an overnighter.

I have had some very strange looks from fellow campers a few times Reg and Wombat but after speaking with the onlookers they have said what a great idea, never thought of that.
You see some good ideas from fellow travellers if you take the time to walk around and look and talk to others.
Keep safe on the roads.

I always had a Hydraulic Jockey wheel and a 1.8ton (short body) trolley jack.
Front/back. the Jockey wheel does it. But I "normally" disconnect the ball.
leave cables/chains on.
Sideways.
Tandem vans.
Just slip T. J between wheels on low side.
Pump till level. remove handle from thieves. and take out in morn.
Single axle. Front of back of wheel to suit.
I always reckoned a trolley jack. sized to suit.
was one of the most useful items in your kit.
Footwell of rear seat drivers side.alongside door. (in Patrol)
takes no room useful for day and night and punctures. yours and others.
Prior to that I carried half a boot of different timbers to suit.
Now. Just stop, anywhere.
Coupla pumps on handles.
you all level.
Have a pr of screw jack, axle stands for long term stops.($65)
And any work on veh's.
