Will the plastic leggo type blocks support the weight of the leveling jacks on a class A. Im using wood blocks and really heavy.
outboarfever,
While those "Leggo" type plastic blocks are fairly well constructed, the do have limits. I know, 'cause I've disintegrated one or two of them in various circumstances. If straight down pressure is applied, they can do OK. But, if there's even the slightest tendency to slide or, a tad bit of leaning, (due to placing them on some un-even ground), they can "shear" or, crack or break.
There are just sometimes when the harder route MUST be taken. While you may think the wood blocks are heavier, if constructed correctly, they'll handle seriously more weight and, will survive precarious loads (tweaked dirt of pavement) and the load is placed on them. Now, when I say "constructed correctly", I mean there's several ways to do it. If you'd like to know, either someone will chime in or, PM me and I'd be glad to show you how I did mine.
But, suffice to say, the plastic ones will do the job, until they don't.
Scott - I have used the Lynx Levelers under my MH stabilizers with out any damage.
Don't use them on asphalt in hot weather as they act like cookie cutters and sink. I carry plywood plates to go under stabilizers and blocks to spread the weight out. Some locations require pads. - We_Cant_WaitExplorerDepends on the weight of your coach. If it's a 38'+ diesel pusher then probably not. A number of members have commented on them bending/breaking. While yes they are a bit heavier blocks made out of 2 layers of exterior plywood will stand up a lot better, and with a rope loop attached a lot easier to pull out from under the coach.
