Leveling blocks for a DP

I am thinking of getting some leveling blocks for my new DP but all of the hollow plastic ones I have found have some comments in the reviews that heavier motorhomes crushed them. Does anyone have some they would like to recommend?

The only blocks that I have found I am sure are sturdy enough sound like they are made from tire rubber and are solid so they are probably heavy and are fairly expensive. If that is the route I need to go I am thinking of buying are 4' X 6' X 1" thick horse mat from Tractor supply and cutting it up with a Skill saw to make my own.
  • I bought the 12" square yellow ones from Camping World during my spending spree after we bought the 40 footer, last I saw of them they were peeking out of a dumpster in northern Washington.
    Last week I saw the camp hoste cutting up some old picnic tables with a chain saw, I talked him out of 6 of the longer pieces (16 to 18 inches).
    We moved the next day to the beach and they work great on the sand, I'm guessing they will work better on the dirt. Can't beat the price.
  • for use under jacks? I use the orange plastic ones under jacks no problem with crushing
