LEVELING BLOCKS 35' CLASS A MOTORHOME

NEW TO RVING AND I KEEP READING ABOUT PEOPLE TRAVELING AND HAVING TO USE MORE THAN JUST THEIR JACKS TO LEVEL THE RV AT A SITE. HOW MANY BLOCKS SHOULD I BUY?? I SEE CAMPING WORLD HAS A BAG OF 10 IN A SET AND THEY GOT GOOD REVIEWS. ARE TWO SETS ENOUGH? WOULD LOVE SOME FEEDBACK ON WHAT YOU USE, HOW MANY, HOW OFTEN, ETC...THANKS FOR THE INFO!!

    I use them on occasion. I have one set (10 1 inch high blocks). Use up to four under any one or two jacks. Never had a problem. Just be sure your rear wheels never leave contact with the ground to keep the rig steady. I use plastic cutting boards when necessary on soft ground to distribute the load.

    Typically, leveling blocks are used by travel trailers. Most Class A's have leveling jacks and don't require blocks unless (as others have suggested) you're on soft ground and need something under your jacks to help distribute the load.

    All CAPS is considered shouting and more difficult to read. We carry several 4X4 blocks and use two of them under each jack.

    And when you run outa firewood you can burn the blocks. Its worth it to be unlevel the last night.

    Never need anything. Yes some 12" 2X6 planks to put under the jack pads on soft ground. Never needed anything more. You really don't want to take your MH on a site that would require anything more anyway...

    Get some 4X6 boards cut in about 2 ft lenghts and you are good to go on soft surfaces

    Needed a plank under the jacks a few times in soft ground, otherwise always just the levelers. If the site is that far out of whack I'll find another.
