I use blocks under the stabilizing jacks and tongue jack. I don't like just throwing them in the pass through, pretty messy to do that.The holder that I made for the 2 x 6 blocks is shown here. I made the 1/4" plywood spacers so the blocks will dry after a rain. The PVC pipe is glued in to the block that is mounted on the frame.

Nice! Handy and organized. Great idea!Might want to rethink using those zip ties to secure platform.Sun will make them brittle in no time......snap while in transit. Blocks/platform bouncing down highway--------YIKES!Bolted to tongue or metal straps.

The white ties are not UV resistant and will break. I do like the concept.

A couple of u bolts will do the trick.

Excellent idea. I just pack mine in a milk crate in bed of truck. I'd think the zip ties will certainly last a season. Give you time to decide if you definitely want to keep them there before making it permanent.:h

Even better is to use the large radiator hose clamps.
They are stainless steel and will outlast the zip tys.
