It’s base rock. I guess I should get some plastic. Thanks

I use these rubber pavers

Protects the tires from the rough surface of recycled concrete that is used at our storage lot and helps when backing in to get the trailer in the right spot.

So does anyone know if it's better to put blocks under the jacks so the don't have to extend as much or run them out more. Does one or the other help preserve the jacks. I normally put a couple blocks but at the rally I saw people using these large red jack blocks and the jacks were barely extended

I use a 12x12 plywood block with aluminum on the top. On asphalt, dirt and gravel I use it to keep the jacks from sinking. Will look into getting the rubber pads to park the tires on.

If your RV tires are suppose to be replaced evey 4 yrs (5 yrs max) or so due to rubber degredation..how critical is the surface they are parked on? If we are replacing every 5 yrs (or less) and majority of the time for most of us with plenty of tread left I just cant see how the surface they are parked on can be that critical.

Good read on parking surfaces: http://www.rvtiresafety.net/2012/11/...m-parking.html
Bottom line is concrete or wood is recommended. Asphalt (oils attack rubber) and sand/dirt (moisture corrodes steel) is not.2017 Ford F350 Platinum 6.7L PowerStroke DRW
