Soft & sometimes soggy ground
Aside from a full blown concrete pad, what are my options to keep a 8-9k pound tt from sinking into the ground?

I've used thick boards in muddy campsites when we boondock. It works ok but it is a pain to pry up the sunken boards after the mud has dried.
Those "pads" need to be at least 2'x2'. Probably at least 3'x2' for dual wheels.
You can make them out of pressure treated lumber, but don't use lumber wider than 6". Wider boards are likely to crack. Forget gluing them together also. This means screws are your only choice. Drill a hole about half way through the 2x6, large enough for the head of the screw to sink into the middle. Use screws compatible with PT wood. If you screw cross braces on top, you have built in small chocks !
No help from me on prying them out of the soft soil and they won't be light ! You had better have a hose handy to rinse them off and a place to store dirty outside items.
