I use 2"by6", one foot long wood. Cheap, works, and if you leave them behind as I did one rainy day in New Hampshire, no loss.

I use wood planks that are cut at an angle along the end for the wheels to drive up on.
We have done the same, total of 4 2 x 12s cut to various lengths.
They can also be used for getting out of lose beach sand.

Lots of good feedback on this post. It is a common issue for Class B's and similar that drive up on "lego" leveling blocks.

Take a couple feet of rope and attach to side of block (drill hole, tie knot). Extend rope in direction of vehicle. As you drive towards blocks, your tires will be on top of the rope and will prevent the blocks from sliding away.
Great solution. Thanks.

Quickly skimmed this thread so don't know if I'm repeating this advice. I read this in some RV forum or magazine.

That is a remarkably logical solution!

There's something about the physics of where the CoG is in relation to the wheel's angle of attack. For example, if you PULL a two-wheeled carry-on behind you, the luggage will easily roll over all sorts of small edges and door jambs, but if you PUSH it in front of you, the same edges and door jambs will stop you cold. I think the same thing is happening using these lego leveling blocks.

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.

Another good idea. Has anyone used the Andersen levelers? They also look pretty slick.

I used to use wood planks cut as you describe and then got two of these and have used them quite successfully for years since. They are lighter, stack tightly reversed to each other and work great. And unless the surface is concrete, a tent stake driven into the surface below them stops slipping, though it is rarely required.

Looks even simpler than the rubber mat, I will try it. Yes, I am using "Lego" blocks, standard size and driving a van up on them. Usually not a problem but they do slip on certain surfaces.
