I store my MH, 35' Monaco Monarch, on a buddy's ranch next to his fiver. The spot we use is slightly higher then the surrounding ground, on dirt, but in winters past even after a good rain I have nev...

Wow! Not fun.
We sometimes drive our motorhome to my brother's house at Bethel Island, CA in the delta. That is where our motorhome is right now. My wife asked last night if we needed to move it to safer ground. We are in Washington State so it would be a long drive. I checked the path of least resistant for the water and it appears that the south delta should be safe.
I got stuck near a lake in Wise, VA and had to dig out my steps before the tow truck arrived. My steps deployed when I exited but would not retract. It took eight hours for a tow truck to arrive so digging out the steps gave me something to do.
I think you need to dig out your jacks and retract them. I would buy a 2 X 12 to use as a jack pad. Then you can jack up the rig. I've never had a lot of luck trying to drive an RV on wood so, if you plan on gravel later, try making gravel paths for your drive wheels.
Another option is to raise the jacks and call a tow truck.
My niece says that there is another storm predicted for this weekend so whatever you do do it quickly.
My sister-in-law said with all the rain I might need a tow to get out of her yard.
Safe travels. JD
