levelers
I am thinking of a Thor Citation but they don't have levelers. How important?? 24'

Yes, they are a heavy Marsha. The whole mat weighs 100 lb., but in pieces you can toss them around easy enough, even when moving a stack.
The Lynx blocks are only 8" wide, so you have 4" of roll-on room between the 1" high layers. I decided to make 12 and 8 inch pieces. Each piece is 3/4" thick and does not compress. By having a mix/match of sizes, I can stack and stagger same as lynx blocks. I've only used them once (at front wheel only) and stacked two 12" backed by two 8", then two 12" flush to the back.

That gave me a total lift of 3" at one front wheel. Drove on nice and easy. I could have put on two more 8" pieces flush to the back for 4.5" lift. I have read posts saying that if you need more than 5 or so inches of leveling, you should re-park or just deal with the lean.
It would take 10 Lynx blocks to reach 5" height at a cost of at least $40. That's a total of 30 total blocks to lift front and back 5" at a cost of about $120.
You would need 12 of each size strip to get 4.5" lift on one side (all three tires) of a class C. A 4' X 6' horse mat is selling for $40 from Tractor Supply. Cut the mat into 6' X 1' strips, then cut those into four 12" strips and three 8" strips. You will get a total of sixteen 12" strips and twelve 4" strips. More than enough to have all sorts of options.
I would recommend using chalk line to mark your cut lines and use a brand new utility knife to do the cutting. Hanging the edge off a work bench allows the cut to open as you work and makes things easier. I think that if you have a vibrating cutter tool, that might work even better.
The big criticism I saw about the Lynx blocks was that they crack pretty quickly. Wood is cheap, but I read that it also cracks and gets super heavy when wet anyway. End result of the horse mat was non-slip stackable pieces that will last a really long time at really low cost.
