Plastic leveling blocks

I have 5 bags (50 blocks) for my diesel rig. I don't use them often, but they do come in handy. Soft ground at rainy tailgating events are where they seem to shine. I have to make a pathway out of some grass that had turned to mud by the end of the weekend. Sometimes you get assigned a spot at tailgates that is so far from level that the jacks can't fix it. The blocks will.

I say keep them. If nothing else, it gives the kids something else to play with.

Hey SML,
This is entirely up to you Bud, but, I've seen many DP units sitting on those yellow plastic blocks "under the tires". I've seen them stair step them to a height 5 or 6 and, they appeared to be handling the weight just fine each time I saw them in that situation. I have various thickness wooden blocks for my application but, I also carry about 10 of those too.

Leveling is always a debate here and on other forums. How people go about it, the procedures, limits to which they'll let their vehicles "hang" and more are always argued, one way or another. Now you, knowing that your new rig is "potentially" limited in leveling capabilities, might think about keeping maybe at least half of them around. Again, it's entirely up to you for a decision like this. I don't even know what kind of limit those are suppose to have. I just know I've seen them under some mighty heavy rigs. Your choice pal.

I have used them at the kids house only way to get level. I have used them in the fields at antique shows to spread the load and not sink.

Although I have two bags of them I have only used one bag once on very soft ground. The rest of the 45,000 miles on this DP they were excess baggage.

we have a 2007 CC 38ft tag axle - never used anything like that w/the air leveling however we did run into a huge problem at a very tiny rv park somewhere in the catskills - we tried & tried to level the coach and there was just too much slope (park was bad to begin with), so we left. other than that experience since 07, we've never had a problem leveling. you won't need those. the weight of the rig would crush them anyway.

enjoy your new coach !

Smlranger... Send em my way.... :) sheesh I'll pay shipping. ;). Might be nice to have them to shim a table or help a fellow rv'er out while at a campground.

Buy 10 more bags and build forts.

Not sure you need 4 bags. but 2 bags would let you make 4 sets of 5 to increase your levelers foot print.

This coach has no leveling jacks so no jack feet on the ground. It uses the air bag suspension to level the coach.
