plastic leveling blocks - What Do You Think?
I thought they woukd be easy to use for the incline steep driveway. Now i hear they slip on concrete. Any truth? They are on sale at Camping World internet. Good deal if they work.

- They slip on concrete and crack up and break on sand.
They work great on hard ground and grass. - get some rubber sheeting of the appropriate size to put under the bottom block for use on concrete, get a piece of 3/4" plywood for under the bottom block for use on sand.
- I use 3/4 plywood and some 2x6s very cheap and 100% reliable.
- After buying 'several' sets of Lynx Blocks and sending the CEO's kids to college I finally bought ramps for the front end when I need a good lift. These don't crack and break.
Rhino Ramps, lightweight, nestable. Just make sure you buy the ones rated for trucks not cars. They have a rubber stop grommet in the front so it won't skid on hard surfaces.
Best thing I have purchased for the MH.

http://www.rhinoramps.com/ - For 30 years I have used 2x s won't wast my money on the blocks........... just my 2 cents...
- I'm digging the lynx blocks.. sorry, rotten old slimy wood no more for me. couple bags of these things and I am set. lightweight, easy to clean, and easy to use.
Most people have at least 15-30 plus K in their rigs... seriously gonna tell me that a $29.00 bag of blocks makes a big difference? For the ease of use and ease to pack I will be more than happy to pay $29.00 (everyday walmart price) - I have lynx blocks... still in the packaging in the storage of my TT. Instead, I use some treated 2x6 boards (some for the tires, four segments as jack pads), and a custom made pad for the tongue jack. Only downside -- wear gloves and kick them out of place if the rig has been sitting for more than a few days to dislodge any scorpions whom might have made the underside their new bungalow.

- If you feel or see that they are slipping on concrete, then your wheels are not chocked or secrurend properly. The first step in setup is to chock and secure the wheels before lowering the stabs.

I think the OP was referring to slippage on concrete when pulling the TT onto plastic leveling blocks.
