altering anothers property without permission is a criminal act. That includes cutting firewood, wiener sticks, digging holes, and more on all other persons land including gov't.
The addage 'leave it as you found it' is inadequate today. Consider that you are on anothers property, treat it as such.
And yes, I have had issues with hole diggers, wood cutters. Please respect our public and private lands as if they were your own. The public lands ARE yours.

If you don't mind paying for convenience that is the way to go. One $3 treated 2x4 and several saw cuts and 5 minutes of my time I can have the same thing for $3. Sometimes money is smarter than the rest.

I usually use the lego type as they are so handy and easy to store.Combined with a shovel,they usually get the job done even in the more unlevel spots.I also carry several 2X6 boards cut to length when I take the ATV trailer to use as needed.

4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

The one thing on my bucket list I never got around to having. Envious!

OP: First of all the orange honey comb levelers will crack all up if you use them on sand. Go figure. After buying 3 sets of those I switched to the solid yellow ones.

THEN when I became a snowbird and sat for awhile in one spot. I got smart and bought these. Lite weight and works for all conditions. Especially those real tough ones where you need a lot of height.



And as previous poster stated, They now sell these which are real good also. Better than the blocks.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Class C MHs built on truck chassis' are by design low on the front. Sites can be perfectly level, but a 'C' will need lift on the front.
A few pieces of lumber will help any unit get level.
Experienced campsite designers recognise that level side to side is most important, that front to rear is best a little low rear for 'C's, that 'A' s do not want to raise their door steps, that TTs and 5ers are more stable with the tongue lower.
Drainage is also key to not flat sites. Noone wants a puddle after rain.
