![]() ![]() ![]() i have placed them exactly where I want the trailer to sit each year. They are about $2 each, Store SKU # 679311, 7" X 7" X 4". My fix was to purchase three concrete blocks at Home Depot. However, this past year I noted that during our annual 8 month storage, termites were infesting the ground contact 2X6 boards. The icing on the cake is that NOW, all of the dunnage can stack side by side in my front tub milk crate. i placed them side to side, and then stacked 2X6's turned 90 degrees to the base ones. So I was forced to use two 2X6's as a base. Maybe I should have used better wood? While on the road, I did not have an easy way to replace the broken base 2 X 12's. what I soon learned is that when used in soft ground, the trailer weight through the 2圆 stack would break the larger base. I started out using 2X12 treated lumber on the base and then a stack of 2X6's above. ![]() I store the Ollie at a new RV storage yard and the owner wasn’t too pleased with the rings I left in his asphalt.įor over 50 years I use cut sections of treated lumber (Recommend washing them with soap before handling). At the last campsite we were at the settled in about 1/2 in per day. Bottom line I need to put a flat surface of lumber or other plastic block to prevent the bucket from sinking in. I may try them upside down but they will collect some rain water. By comparison a 2x12 board cut square 11.25x11.25 is 127.6 square inches and 5.14 PSI with the same load. The result is the flange settles into both dirt and asphalt. So given say a say “650” lb tongue weight that equates to 23 PSI. The issue is all the weight is on the flange portion that calculates roughly 28 square inches. When used as sold the bucket goes flange side/hollow side down. So they work as advertised but I have discovered a basic weakness of the product when used on anything other than concrete. See the pictures. The blocks are stackable for extra height and can even double as seats or step-stools (Note: do not stack more than to high).I purchased three of the Anderson Jack Blocks thinking the reduced time (jack travels much less), reduces stress on the jack ( not extended so far, better for resisting side loads) and clean off with a rinse when used on dirt. The Trailer Jack Block is extremely strong and durable -and resists dirt and oil. With our new version you have built-in magnets so you can simply attach each Trailer Jack Block to the bottom of your stabilizer and hit auto-level - no need to check and adjust each block! Super-fast and super-convenient! And because the jack doesn't need to extend fully, there's less stress on it from movement - it's a win-win for RVs and Trailers (and your pocket book)! LESS STRESS! Using the Trailer Jack block under your jack(s) means your jack doesn't need to extend down as far, saving on wear and tear over time. If you want the most solid and absolute best results on a trailer that has more than 4 stabilizer jacks, use one block per stabilizer. STABILIZE YOUR RV OR TRAILER! The Andersen 'Trailer Jack Block' eliminates nearly all of the movement in your parked RV or Trailer! You will be amazed how solid everything is when using the Trailer Jack Block with your stabilizer jacks! For great results, use two blocks at the front and two blocks at the back of your RV. ![]()
