Correct blocking on unlevel ground
I've had a couple of campsites this year that have been uneven ground and I've wondered about proper techniques for making sure it is stable.
One site had enough slope front to back that with plastic stacking blocks under the front legs I could walk under the front of the 5th wheel without slouching over (I'm 5'10"). Steadyfast + x-chocks + regular chocks. The plastic stacking blocks are on those rubberized pads. Asphalt.
Another campsite I had featured a side to side variation of 4"-5". On that I used my Andersen levelers at the highest they went. Steadyfast + x-chocks + regular chocks. Asphalt.
Both times the trailer felt very stable, no excessive movement. This question probably opens a can of worms, but are either of these situations out of the ordinary?
