I measured the distance from the bottom of the jack to the ground, and it is 22", when the camper is loaded onto the truck. So the height of whatever method I use--square boards, concrete blocks,etc. will be less than 2' high. I don't see any danger of squares of wood 12" square toppling over when piled less than 2' high, even with 700 lbs of pressure on each one. I have some pressed plywood shelving material I found, and I am going to cut them into square foot pieces and glue them together. They'll never get wet, they are inside.

THANKS, now a bunch of advice I didn't want to hear. BTW, what is cribbing? What do you mean by "there is major difference between stacking and cribbing"? Are you guys saying that a camper on one foot square pieces of wood stacked 3 feet high is dangerous???

I would like to be able to just back in under the camper without having to jack the camper up more than a few inches. It is stored inside. So if I have boards that are stacked up maybe 3' high or so. Wondering what type of lumber would be best, 2x4, plywood, particle board, etc. The boards would be cut to approx. one foot square. Thanks
