First, there are no stupid questions. If you don't understand a concept, asking for clarification is always a valid question.
As chuckster57 indicated, get the trailer "as level as you can" then install the "big level". I used a 6' construction level. I placed it side to side on the trailer floor and leveled the trailer, then placed it lengthwise on the floor and leveled front to back. Once I had the trailer level, I changed the position of the level several times to make sure nothing had changed during the leveling.
After leveling and checking to be sure, I proceeded to install the level. Once it's installed, there are adjustments on the level mount to "fine tune" it to be "perfectly level". After adjustment, unless you bump it hard enough to bend it, it'll remain at the settings you adjusted to. Mine has been at the same settings (without readjustment) for almost 5 years and hasn't moved.
