We use the Level Air bags and love them. sure makes it easier to level the RV.

I carry a whole array of leftover deck boards from when I built my deck! I have enough to level out the TT if I parked on a mountain, and some sites I`ve parked on I think were on a mountain! LOL. sure they`re heavy, but their stored up front and help keep the tongue weight where it needs to be!

I am trying to decide on what size leveling boards to get but also deciding on what type of wood is the best for this purpose. does anyone have any suggestions on what type of wood would serve the purpose best for leveling out the trailer and maintaining strength? Thanks,

I carry four pieces of 3/4 inch plywood. Works great and you can not beat the price, FREE!

I use 2" X 10" boards, 12" and 16" long and 1" X 8" cut at 12"
I also use these under the stabilizer jacks.

I use pine 2X8, 2X10, and 1X8. Also have some 2X10 cut about 10" square. It's not too expensive, holds up well, and can be burned for firewood if it breaks...which I have never had happen. It's not TOO heavy and I carry enough to level on a mountain.

We use to use 2X10's but they were always breaking.

We have used 3/4" plywood screwed together to make our leveling boards for about a year now without any breaking.

Ok forgive me for my ignorance as I am new to the whole TT seen. Are these used for the tires or jacks? Also is it for side to side or front to back leveling? Anyone have pictures they can send me? Or a link to them?
Thanks!

Both! I use them to level the TT from side-side and then use as many under the tongue jack and stabilizers as needed. the more wood/blocks the more stable the RV will be.
