Leveling blocks slip

[jjson775]

When we level up with our plastic blocks, especially on a paved blacktop surface with a little small gravel, they frequently slip and it may take several tries to drive up on them. I have been thinking about getting a rubber pad of some kind to put under the blocks that would grip the pavement and not allow the blocks to move. Has anyone tried something like this?

I believe he is talking about a Class B, camper van.

What kind of leveling blocks are you using? The "lego" type? Are they extra tall?

I use wood planks that are cut at an angle along the end for the wheels to drive up on.

For my plastic leveling blocks slipping I just use the cheap non slip shelf and drawer liner most of us use to keep stuff from sliding around in out rigs. It works fine for me, weighs nothing and only costs a few bucks for a small roll.

Try disconnecting the 7 way connector to the trailer.

Many controllers apply what is called holding brake effort after a short time if the brake lights are on.

The Prodigy has a feature to disable the Hold while backing a trailer.

Use this procedure.

Reverse
When backing a trailer you can cancel “BOOST” and
“HOLD” for a period of three minutes. This can be
accomplished by pressing the boost button continuously
for five seconds with the brake pedal depressed.

Interesting. I haven't experienced this but I do kick them into contact with the tires and pavement, rock, dirt etc.

Nope. Just put it 4 wheel drive and nothing slips.

Go to Tractor Supply and get a rubber mat. There are 2 different thicknesses. Cut to size with skill saw.
