Well Gang,
Goofing around one afternoon, I came up with the ones you see in the pics. I carry four of them in the coach and, two reserves are at home in the RV cave. I purchased some "cut-offs" fire wood from a local Lumber yard. Those were all 4"x6"x 11". Then, knowing that standard lumber would crack, under just about any circumstances, I decided to put two of those, side by side and, "sandwich" those in between two pieces of 3/4" plywood.
Then, I had some 5/8 nylon webbing (purchased at the infamous Quartzsite RV event) that I attached to each one, to be used as handles. Everything was glued to the max and, some 3" x 10 drywall screws used as secondary holding power. And finally, since I had some around, I shot them with some Urethane for a bit of protection.
Yep, they look more like interior kitchen cabinet stuff than dumb old blocks for a motor home but, I figured what the heck, the total cost was minimal and, I got lots of time so, why not.
