On the Pod, we absolutely loved using the BAL Small Trailer Leveler.

I use the old reliable carry a few pieces of 2x10, and a bag of " legos " for fine adjustments. Most places i have been i hardly need more than an inch of adjustment. I mostly hate being on an angled lot because even though i can level the pod, its a little harder to get the dome to touch ground all the way around.

We use an Andersen leveler/chock. It's simple, and chocks as well as levels. https://www.amazon.com/Andersen-Hitches-3604-Camper-Leveler/dp/B001GC2LVM

We are going with the Andersen for ease of use and the recommendation on forums, plus our home made 4x4 wheel chocks made for our first tent trailer, one named for our daughter and one for our son whose jobs it was to place each chock properly, great memories.  You need the extra wheel chocks from what we have read.

We bought the Tri-Lynx (lego-style) levelers in 2011 for $ 14.99.  They now run around $ 28.00 on Amazon.  Pretty simple and lightweight to use.  Sometimes we get into very uneven terrain where we have needed all 10, but have never run out.  Furpods is at the top "fancy" list, ours is at the bottom and the price reflects that.

Andersen leveler for simplicity and adjustment that is not in steps like the block type levelers or boards. Plus it is easy to carry. I have used the BAL leveler and like it also, but it is harder to carry since it is both heavy and bulky. Plus, I don't care for the way it tilts, putting pressure on the side-walls instead of staying square with the treads.
At home, I do tend to use the block type as I have had a problem with the Andersen slipping on my driveway. I haven't tried the Andersen since I poured the extension to the driveway though. Next time I move the R-Pod, I think I will give it another try.

Stephen, can you explain the Andersen slipped on your driveway statement.
Once we take delivery it will be parked on our slopping drive, I had hoped the ndersen plus our old wood chocks would be sufficient.

I use the step up block type and always keep the Pod a little downhill towards the slide side since we have discovered when level and it rains water runs in on the slide track.
