What do you use to stabilize when parked?

After my first weekend of camping, the one glaring thing I need to take care of is how I stabilize my TT when it's parked. This weekend I used Misc pieces of wood, but someone recommended I get jack stands for this.

Any suggestions?
  • I just use 2x6s to give a flat surface for the jacks to be on, as well as to keep them from having to be overextended. Then, I use a cordless drill to extend/retract the jacks. So far, so good.

    in your bing or google address bar type in "the utility block"

    This looks like an awesome leveling block also you can go to you tube to watch a video just type in ( the best utility leveling block )that seems to be the an awesome way to go
  • I put blocks of wood or levelling blocks underneath my jacks. The further extended they are, the less effective they are. So I usually put stuff under even if it isn't necessarily needed.

    I should of specified that my TT is a 2011 and has scissor jacks on each corner. The challenge is that most time they won't touch down directly because of height so I have to meet them halfway at least.

    So I am looking for best solution for that specifically. Looks like your picture of jack stands is exactley what I am looking for, just wanted to grab opinions to make sure it's the best route.


    Lynx Levelers are great. The fit together, and make a nioce platform for the stab to sit on. And they clean, and store easily.
