What do you all use to level your campers when you get to your destination? I use foot long sections of treated pine 6x6 under the stabilizer Jacks and tongue jack. Under the wheels for leveling I was using scrap pieces of 2x6 about a foot long I picked up for free. Only problem is I've already split 3!
I've looked at the plastic blocks that lock together. They look like they would be nice on hard surfaces, but on gravel I would think they would deform or break and would sink into grass or soft ground.
My father carries tons of blocking on his dually. 10 16-18" sections of oak 6x6. Then he has a couple 4-5' pieces of 2x8. Plus a half dozen or so smaller pieces.
The longer pieces seem to hold up better than the short sections I had, but I still think they would split.
So I thought back to when I worked as a Rigger for a crane service. We had racks of blocking made from a sandwich of 2 by and plywood. Guess what I had sitting in the garage? Some 1/2 ply from my bed mod and lots of 2x4x8 from a project we decided not to do. I used 3 sticks wide. One 72", the other 58". The ends are 45'd. Then the ply is screwed top and bottom. I had an old strap that had cut on my quad frame, so I cut a couple 8" lengths and screwed them to the side for handles. Maybe I'll add a bundle of the Lego blocks to use on these for smaller adjustments.
