What do you use to stabilize when parked?

I bought the leveling blocks and ending up using them under my levelers. They are light, stack to any height needed and store in a bag. I was using wood and it was heavy but worked.

Works great, looks like I know what I'm doing, and was very easy, cheap, and felt good making it myself!!

Humm,,,I built something like this for my tongue jack. From what I have learned on this post something like this under each jack would help me out a lot. I get the wood for free from the farm and for me that would be cheaper then buying something. Thanks.

We use heavy duty scissor jacks. The original cheap jacks that came with the NT BRS28 were scraped off/destroyed because the NT BRS28 is too low to the ground. They were welded on. Now we have manual ones used with a cordless drill. :)

Main thing I've found is that you can't entend the jacks any more than half way. If you do, they don't give the same stabilization effect. I use the leveling blocks because they are light, stack and go in a bag easily stored. Have 4 bags of them.

I carry a couple of treated 2"x6"x30" for leveling side to side and a couple 2"x6"x6" for the tongue jack. Has had me covered in every campsite I've ever been to.

I put 30" scissor jacks and eliminator struts I used a different brand but these are cheaper and are the same thing, TT doesn't move at all once they are tightened. I love the 30" jacks no need for blocks.

X2 on steadyfast. We love ours. Makes the trailer rock solid. .

Just finished installing the Steadyfast system. These make the trailer so steady I just sold my X chocks on ebay. Would recommend over special chocks or other blocking methods. The scissor jacks can be fully extended and it still prevents the trailer from moving.

I use several chunks of 6x8 timber which I can position in several ways to bring the jacks in contact pretty quickly. They're a little heavier than Lynx blocks, but no stacking involved. The feet on the stabilizers are pretty small of soft earth or sand and tend to sink in pretty quickly. Use something wider to distribute the load better.

You might want to do what I have doner if you are handy.
I made four boxes up with scrap wood that I had in the shop. I put those down first, and then crank the stabilizers down on top of them.( 2" by stuff for the sides and OSB for the tops)
Annually I give them a fresh coat of black paint, and several times I have been asked where I got them.
I also made a larger one for the tongue jack.
