Recommended jack stand ground support plates.

I'm not sure if I searched for the wrong subject, but I wasn't able to find anything there.

I would like to know what, if anything, others have found to work as good weight distribution devices you use when supporting your campers on soft ground with the jack stands, to keep them from sinking in?

Thanks again in advance!

  • Lots of difference. How much weight? Will there be any movement? How soft is the ground? How long will it set, will water/plywood cause problems? Do you want the load to slip on the plate?
    Under the front jacks will running over the bases cause issues? If so, that plate must be larger to hold off-center load.
  • Thanks guys....simple....inexpensive.....my kind of solution!!
  • Lumber, plywood, those plastic leveling blocks, um that about covers it.
  • I use about foot stall mat squares, but also squares of plywood work as well.
