My solution to the leveling block problem.

Leveling Blocks

One of my obsessions. I don't like to put a 2x6 under a 10" wide tire or stack a bunch of 2x4 waste boards under the jacks when needed. The blocks were originally made from 2x12 treated board. They were cut in lengths of 16" each and then I nailed 2 together to make a double high block. I then nail a large cable staple in the end to allow us to use the awning hook to pull the block from under the rig.

The problem is that the 2x12 would split down the middle. You can see the split in the single high board, right behind the cable staple. My solution, 1/4 " plywood on each side of the board put on with deck screws. Because they never get wet for long I haven't worried about paint or anything to protect them, maybe later.

I have 2 of the single boards and 2 of the double boards for each side of the rig, and store each matching set of 4 on each side of the MH.
