I'm leaning towards this yet wonder what thickness would be right for the weight?
Of Course I would also still use the camper legs.
Naked, that 'X' design (made from 3/4", or 23/32" plywood, can hold a maximum of 2400#'s. But painted, they can easily support up to 2950#'s. This, as determined from the manufactures adjusted paint index for customized lumber products, available on line.
You're going to hear a dozen stories about how that will never work, or plywood has no strength that direction, or it's a great idea and will support a loaded 11' camper with quad slides.
Those and a set of 4x's across each one (so that edges of the frame are supported) and your jacks would probably be just fine. And cheap. And take about 30 min to cut up. Paint, well, that's to anal for me. But it's pretty for sure.
