plastic leveling blocks - What Do You Think?

Lynx for us. When we have had a flat use them to make a pyramid and run the good wheel on top and change the flat wheel on the tandem axel. Can change a tire just about anywhere without unhitching or using a jack.

We use the blocks and planks of 2x6. The blocks are fine as long as we are not too far out of level to start with. The planks come out when there is a need to lift one side a lot and the blocks go on top of them.
The other advantage to the planks is getting across wash outs and ruts out in the boonies. Sometimes the blocks are good there to support the middle of the plank as we drive over but it would take way too many to fill the space just using them.

I love the plastic blocks (orange), and still have the original set (faded and discolored from the sun - so kind of orangeish-white now) that I bought over 10 years ago. They weigh a lot less than 2x6 blocks (important to me), don't crack in the middle like 2x6 blocks, and just work. I don't use them for leveling - we're just not that picky about that. I use them as a base for the tongue jack and stabilizers when parking on soft ground.

I use them as leveling ramps, pads for the stab jacks, blocks for sewer support, wherever and whenever. Really handy. I have used them in sand, gravel, asphalt, concrete, etc. Many of mine are the orange white color due to age. I have three bags and two are ancient. They still have the canvas bags as opposed to the newer nylon bags. You wood fans can haul around your 100# of lumber all you want but I will stick with my 10# of Lynx Levelers. YMMV

I had the yellow blocks for many years. They did break sometimes in soft sand under a MH. Now I use orange Lynx blocks with my TT. The Lynx brand so far seems more durable. The plastic blocks are lighter, more compact and cleaner than wood planks. I just tap the dirt off the bottom blocks and stack them into their clean storage bag.

That is so funny you said that,,, Last trip to the coast it was very foggy and damp,, bought wood from the host,,(wet wood)!!!
I used a couple of 2x6 leveling blocks I have carried for many a year!!!
There sacrifice was well rewarded in a nice fire!!!!! Stopped at Lowes (locally) asked the lumber guy if he had any scraps,,, Told him my story of the sacrificial leveling blocks.
He allowed me to pick thru the pile of scraps he had at no charge!!!

The plastic levelers work great for us. Never had them slip as I was pulling onto them.

I have two bags of Lynx Levellers and they work great for me.

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.

My bad. That is a different senecio. I usually use wood planks for this .
