I used a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" pressure treated plywood, cut into 16" squares (no waste) and tripled them and screwed em together.
The DP (33,000 pounds on 3 jacks) tacos them a little, the gasser (26k on 4 jacks) didn't even dent them.
Drill holes in the corners so you can use an awning stick to move em
I did almost the same thing. If you cut a sheet of plywood into 16" squares, it gives you 18 pcs. I made two pads 4 layers thick and the other two pads 5 layers thick. Use a waterproof glue like Gorilla glue or Titebond III. Then some 3" stainless screws in them.
Instead of drilling holes in them for the awning hook, I put a large stainless steel eye hook on the side of each one. Then buy a broom handle and screw a cup hook into the end of it. With this you can push the pads under the jacks without having to reach under the MH and it makes quick work of pulling them out when your' ready to leave. Then you can also use the broom handle for your squeegee to clean the windows........
Have been using mine for three years and they're doing fine. My DP is about 24,000#.
