Leveling blocks slip

Go to Tractor Supply and get a rubber mat. There are 2 different thicknesses. Cut to size with skill saw.

Nope. Just put it 4 wheel drive and nothing slips.

Interesting. I haven't experienced this but I do kick them into contact with the tires and pavement, rock, dirt etc.

The mat at Tractor Supply looks perfect! Thanks wthibeaux.

Great idea, I've had the same problem. Thanks

Try disconnecting the 7 way connector to the trailer.

Many controllers apply what is called holding brake effort after a short time if the brake lights are on.

The Prodigy has a feature to disable the Hold while backing a trailer.

Use this procedure.

Reverse
When backing a trailer you can cancel “BOOST” and
“HOLD” for a period of three minutes. This can be
accomplished by pressing the boost button continuously
for five seconds with the brake pedal depressed.

For my plastic leveling blocks slipping I just use the cheap non slip shelf and drawer liner most of us use to keep stuff from sliding around in out rigs. It works fine for me, weighs nothing and only costs a few bucks for a small roll.

I believe he is talking about a Class B, camper van.

What kind of leveling blocks are you using? The "lego" type? Are they extra tall?

I use wood planks that are cut at an angle along the end for the wheels to drive up on.

Looks even simpler than the rubber mat, I will try it. Yes, I am using "Lego" blocks, standard size and driving a van up on them. Usually not a problem but they do slip on certain surfaces.

I used to use wood planks cut as you describe and then got two of these and have used them quite successfully for years since. They are lighter, stack tightly reversed to each other and work great. And unless the surface is concrete, a tent stake driven into the surface below them stops slipping, though it is rarely required.
