Leveling Block Rubber Pads

[WardPAW]

In an effort to prevent our leveling blocks from sliding on concrete & asphalt, I cut some rubber pads to place under the blocks. Purchased a 1/2" thick horse stale rubber pad (3' x 4') at Tractor Supply. Cost approximately $35. Pad size 32" x 9" along with a 2" x 9" strip to serve as a stop. The strip is Super Glued to the pad. The rubber cuts easily with a utility knife. Created 4 pads.

The pads prevent sliding on a hard surface and sinking into the grass/soft dirt/mud/gravel. Also stops rocks from lodging into the plastic blocks. The pads are long enough so that as the vehicle progresses onto the pad, the vehicle weight holds everything in place.

Great idea! I don't have levelers in my old coach but I did cut horse stall pads to put under tires when I park my BF at home!

Reply to perleys: Do the horse stall pads help preserve the integrity of the tire when you park for long periods? I'm assuming that is the reason you put them under the tires. I also like the idea to keep the blocks from sliding and sinking. Thanks!

Yes I read somewhere when storing for long periods that it is better if the tires don't contact directly with the concrete which is what my rig is parked on. I tried bolting into the concrete but it didn't hold so I do have to realign them every once in a while!
