Best thing to use under jacks while unloading on grass
I was wondering what the best thing to put under the jacks while storing my camper on grass. Thanks Jeff

Normally I would agree. But look at that site I referenced. They are far from the typical sawhorse kit.
Bigfoot has a diagram in their owners manual of how they want theirs to be stored. Concrete blocks with a 4X4 across side to side at the front, just in front of the "skirt" area, and another as far back as possible. Then a sheet of plywood on top of the 4X4's. I used the concrete blocks for a while but moving them around everytime I loaded and unloaded was a true pain in the back, so I substituted 6X6 treated pine blocks, 16" long, sitting on 24X24 plywood. I put my jacks on 2" concrete pads at the back, and the front is on a small piece of scrap 1x6 sitting on a 24x24 plywood pad. I put my jacks down to just a little past contact when storing.
When loading I back over the plywood and it doesn't upset the truck too much.
