The rain situation happened to me. I have seen it happen without any moisture to help. I was at a trial one time. Having lunch and looked out the window to see a commotion going on at another TT. Lots of activity and a crowd around it. I went over to see what was up. The DRY soft dirt had given away, causing the TT to fall off of the blocks. His wheel chocks had also given away. The tongue jack and stabilizers had folded up, and the TT tongue was sitting in the dirt. They were now digging a hole under the frame trying to get a hydraulic jack in there..... What a mess.
There was already plenty of help there. So I just told the owner to come see me when he was done, and I would show him what I do to prevent this from happening again.... He is now a no block convert. I catch a lot of flak on this forum about this procedure.
But it flat out works. It is simple, and you can forget about what is the best blocks.
I never said that one can dig thru concrete.... That SHOULD already be level... If it was done right. And of course in a campground (What is that) There are many rules that one MUST follow... Digging holes is probably just one of them.
But the poster, I was responding to, seemed to be a boondocker, at least some of the time... This option would probably be available to him.

We use long boards under both low side tires of our HTT. Never needed more than 3. The tongue, however, has been maxed high and low without any problems.

The key is to use wheel chocks on both front and back of tires. There shouldn't be ANY stress on tongue jack other than up and down.
