Plastic Jack Stand
My camper weighs less than 5000 lbs. Guess what? I will not be buying another one of these jack stands.

that red cone is a POS. one trip on light travel trailer,and it already showing signs of too much weight on it. I dont even trust it....it's going into the tag sale bin, and I'll just stick to blocks.
It's funny how TTs can have lots of fancy features and lots of bling costing lots of $$, but the "standard" method around campgrounds for something under a tongue jack seems to be a few pieces of left over scrap lumber from home... There's got to be a better way!
You bet!
Cut the scrap piece of lumber in a round circle, paint it bright orange then claim it cost you $50! Heck you might wish to make a few extras to sell to the folks who are looking for the next expensive "gadget"..
You could even make a "deluxe" version for more money by adding a couple of $.50 "levels" on the painted round block of wood!
Honestly though this is a place where failure is NOT "an option", a plain old block of wood is as simple as it gets and not to mention extremely sturdy.
There is no need for fancy plastic "cones" to put under a tongue.
Orange "cones" are for "traffic control" not tongue control..
