Tired of carrying 2x6 boards for levelling.
I'm tired of carrying two 2x6 boards for levelling my 5th wheel.,there a pain to carry, they sometimes slip when using two of them and occasionally warp. Two questions: What do people recommend ...

I decided that 6" plastic levelers were too hard on the tire belt... went to a treated 2x8, cut to fit closely between the wheels... cut a 45 degree angle on each end.. if more than one is needed to get level, just lay two more behind each wheel with the cut angle matching... back onto the new boards and lay another 2x8 on the original boards and then pull up on them.
By only going up 1.5" per move the boards do not move. This procedure can be repeated as many times as you want. If I can't get level with 3 boards, I look for a different site. I do carry 2 pcs of 3/4" plywood cut to the same width for a smaller lift if necessary. Carry the boards standing upright in a plastic milk crate in the truck bed.
I always wonder about the auto leveling systems that are now sold... adding stress to "Leibert" frames. :)
