I agree on the suggestion for manual screw jacks under a solid part of the frame. They are light (made of aluminum with steel jack screws), inexpensive ($45) and pack up into a box not much larger than a shoe box. They also aren’t too big a hassle to set up. You can also put more pressure on them than on a scissor jack or swing arm jack. I use these ones from Amazon on our 24 foot bunkhouse:

I have two 10 piece sets of Lynx Leveling blocks also that I use under those for a little more height since the campsite in CO aren’t usually very flat. I also stuck felt pads on top of each jack head to avoid scratching the frame paint and causing Rust. The jack heads spin as you extend the screw so the felt pad makes contact and then stays put.
