Leveling blocks, anyone use these?

[RoadJunkie]

I called Andersen this afternoon and the units are 6" wide and will support 30K pounds, assuming two axles. Also, doing a quick price search, it appears the best price ($40.00) is from the Andersenhitches.com site. But now at $80.00, I'm doing a little rethinking on the value vs performance.

I was in home depot today and they don't carry them any more. they are made of recycled rubber tires, you might go on line to find them. they work great!

I used to use wood before I put on an electric leveling system. One of the reasons for the change was that we hit a bunch of parks that had gravel sites. The wood would slide on the gravel and it took several attempts before all was OK. I can see the same thing happening with these plastic things ( sliding on gravel ).

I had heard or read somewhere that anything used under tires for lifting or support needed to be larger than the footprint of the tire. Most of our tires have a section width of over 6". I know mine do. Could these possibly cause internal damage to the tires? Just thinking out loud...

This is in regard to the 1 inch thick rubber mats to be used under the plastic levellers:

I looked through the McMaster-Carr massive online hardware catalog for these yesterday, and found very few mats 1 inch thick, and most single mats were more than the price for a set of plastic leveller blocks. I saw doorstep mats 5/8 inch thick of a type a lot of us might remember, made of strips of recycled tire and wire weaving with openings in between, but I thought these would still pick up the clay mud like the bare leveller pads do. Even these cost $24 each.

I did another thread, but I bought them and very impressed how easy it was. Only issue was they are too long to go between the two wheels, I had to put them in at an angle and kick them in while the wife backed.

the rubber mats are now being sold by camping world I believe. They are actually made locally in NJ. I will post the name if I can find it
