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 ...

Yes - our current GD Reflection is what broke them (13,980 across the scales with 3,000 of that on the pin - so 10,980 divided among the four wheels.
In the first two instances, there were larger rocks - perhaps a couple of inches in diameter - hidden under soft soil. This resulted in a large portion of the weight being put in one spot on the leveler causing the breakage. This last time, we were trying to set up on a very unlevel, uneven site in the rain. We ended up moving to another site (couldn't get level enough on our assigned site). I was in a hurry and didn't take the time to examine the ground where the leveler broke... I was just pi$$ed, tired, and in a hurry. None of the breakage events happened on surfaced (asphalt or concrete) sites.
The new levelers are heavier and the plastic/resin appears to be of a different type. I'm hoping for better luck (and I plan on being more careful in the future!).

Thank you for that!
I do have a boondocking trip coming up where parked on dirt so I will be on the lookout for hidden rocks within soft dirt.
If my Andersen's ever break, I'll probably go with the black levelers linked. Leveling with curved ramps are the way to go and I don't want to give them up!
