...What happened on that last picture? Your trailer looks like it fell off the front blocks! Also the blocks look not as stable as I would like. ....
That camp site was sloped down hill. With a 35 foot trailer, it doesn't take much of a slope for one end to be on the ground and the other end in the sky.
Actually it is quite stable. Those blocks are 4x6 solid timbers that I cut to length from a support post that came out of an old barn that was built about 150 years ago. I won't part with those blocks for anything, and they are more solid (and heavy) than a concrete block. Age has also made that wood petrified and I had to cut them (20 years ago) with a chain saw.
If you travel a lot and visit different camp grounds around the country, from the flats of Nebraska to the mountains of West Virginia, you will eventually encounter campsites that are very unlevel, left to right and front to back. Its times like that you will be glad you have lots of stuff to put under your tires and jacks.
