just a quick question I have a 97 American eagle with a 325 horse cummins & allison tranny. I moved it of the drive way to the side yard and put some stepping stones down to park on put them right be hind the wheels & attempted to back up on them. they are only 1 1/2 thick the motor home could not back up on top of them. had to rock it back & forth to get up. does this seem impossible to do ? it was floored & would not get on top ? any thoughts as to why ? I think it should have enough power to do this? thanks

Just off the top of my head it sounds like the motorhome was bogging down on the soft soil. The engine was trying to overcome the dips it made into the ground to try and go up over the 1.5 inch concrete squares.

The engine was trying move six tires that were on soil so I think that was the cause of you needing to rock the coach.
