I made mine out of 1" plywood by cutting six pieces 14" square and glueing/screwing two together with the top grain 90 degrees from the other. I then gave them a good soaking in sealer and two coats of white enamel paint. I then drilled a 1" hole in one of the corners so that I can use my awning rod to place and remove them. For those of you who are wondering why only six pieces....I only have three jacks.
I got one of those heavy duty grocery bags that all three fit in nicely and I usually use them when on any surface other than concrete.

That's exactly what I did, except that I have 4 blocks (14x14x1 with 10x10x1 centered on top), and I painted them black. I thought that I was above brilliant by drilling holes and using the awning rod to place/retrieve them. It must be something in the name?
I had to make a $200 "dimple" deposit at Crater Lake RV Park in Prospect, OR, and pads were required under my levelers. I had not heard of that before.
