tall leveling blocks?
My TT sits pretty tall off the ground. For example, right now in the driveway the stabilizers are 23-24" from the ground. This is what happens when we camp as well.
Now, my scissor-jack style stabilizers are 24" when maximally extended, and my understanding is that stabilizers become much weaker and prone to bending the closer they get to fully extended. Therefore, I am looking for something to stack on the ground under the base of the stabilizer to make it where I don't have to so fully extend them.
Last time I used two stacks of 2x4's under each stabilizer but this took EIGHT pieces of lumber per stabilizer which meant I need to lug around 32 pieces in addition to what I need for my tongue jack.
Surely there is a better way! Using larger pieces of lumber might be an option but the footprint of the stabilizer is 4.5"x8" so I'd want something at least 6"x10". I don't know if tall blocks of lumber come in that large of sizes. Cement/cinder blocks do well but they are heavy and could crack getting them in and out of the truck.
Suggestions?
