Using blocks under automatic levelers
I recently graded and graveled my side yard for my 30' MH. I was considering taking a couple of 12" pieces of 2x10's and gluing them together to make blocks about 4" thick for use under the automatic...

FIRE UP,
I'd like to see those drive up leveling blocks you mentioned. Can you post a pic of those too?

Bill,
Here ya go.
In those two photos, there are the four 4"x 12"x 20" blocks with beveled edges and, four, of the sandwiched 4"x6" (doubled in each sandwich so there's actually two 4"x6" sitting side by side, between each two pieces of 3/4" plywood. And, there's also two, sandwiched 2"x8"x15" between two 3/4" plywood to be used for the front tires and wheels if needed.
While they do take up a bit of space, because of the frequency of use, and importance of the need, I deem that space needed for that mini-lumber yard. Most wouldn't be caught dead carrying that much lumber. No biggie. Each RVer has to determine just what's important to carry and what's not. If our coach is anything less than close to level when I setup in a campsite, then out comes the lumber for pre-leveling. Then, the jacks to the fine tuning.
If I pull into a campsite and, it's pretty darn close, then I'll simply push the button on the HWH panel and, get out of the coach and watch the coach lower itself by dropping the bags and, then the jacks are deployed to level it. Done. But, the lumber is used on an as-needed basis.
