David,
You could have posted my pics, it would have been no big deal to me. Not many gents out there would go through to get what they'll see in the pictures. Way too fancy for most guys. I just had some of this stuff laying around and, thought I'd knock this little project out. Yep, they're just some 4"x6"x 11" Doug fir, sitting side by side and, I just glued and screwed some 3/4" plywood to both the top and bottom. Then, a couple of coats of left over varnish.
Now, I can use these for just about anything. They're primarily for use under the jacks, if and when I determine they're needed. I have another set in which I just used a 2"x8"x20" and, again, sandwiched it between two pieces of 3/4" plywood. Same procedure, same coating. Those are when I may need just a couple of inches under the front etc.
For the rears, I carry (4), 4"x12"x20" that are beveled at one end. The big beast (our coach) is heavy so, I wanted good lumber under those tires, again, if and when I determine it's needed.
