It appears that "scotch blocks" is a term used in tow trucks and railroads-it serves the same as a chock in aircraft. ( and RV's)

Scotch blocks are wooden or metal wedges used to keep your tires from moving. The feet on the ram turned down like a knife edge as it slid off the blocks and stuck in the ground so when i retracted my rams they stayed in the ground some systems have the feet bolted to the ram but mine are held up by two springs but i can see the clothes pin trick working very well thanks for the tip. You can google up Scotch blocks if your interested anyway guys as usual you have helped me alot...

i tried to park on uneven site the passenger side of coach was probably 8 inch lower, i scotched this side of coach and put 6x6 blocks to keep from extending so far, my problem started when it lifted it too far and my tires came off the ground which tires isnt scotched any longer and it rolled off the blocks. the feet stuck in the ground , luckily i have retracted and not bent any stablizers , but when it retracted it left the feet and springs in the dirt and gravel. Anyone know a james bond trick for getting the feet back on the cylinders, I am not sure i can do this by myself?
