I'd be afraid to let the ground dry into concrete, besides I don't have the patients to sit and wait. Think I would use ply re-enforced with 2/4s or thicker under the jacks to raise the tires and then glide a platform under the tires. Might even call a construction rental company and rent some steel squares. Wish you the best.

I tried rocking it out, but stopped when the tires were sunk about half way to the rims. A couple of the maintenance workers went and got some assorted lengths of lumber. I raised the rear with the levelers, they slipped some lumber under the wheels, I raised the levelers and drove out. Simple as that.
It may be big
10-4 I did the same thing use the jacks with pads to raise the unit and chock the front tires

ditto on not using kitty litter. Talk about red Georgia clay, that stuff is made from Georgia koalin and is as sticky as red clay and slicker than owl poop. I have had trucks stuck in 1 inch of kaolin on an asphalt road.
Good luck on whatever your final decision to try is.

Roof shingles will work well. If you don't have any, cardboard will work.

OP here
We have left the MH where it was. It has dried up quite a bit in the last 24 hours. It's not stuck in real deep mud and only on the right rear tires. We placed some wood under the levelers, and jacked it up. We then put some boards under the rear tires and then raised the levelers. I didn't want to leave the MH jacked up the way it was for too long as it wasn't very level.
We decided to let it sit another day (or 2) and we feel we should be able to drive it out. Hopefully we won't have any rain.
We would have been ok if we hadn't tried to turn it around and back into our site. In the future if it's wet, it will go strait in.
Thanks for all the good suggestions.
I'll let you know how it works out. Hopefully tomorrow.

If it won't require more than a a little help, hookup a pickup truck and try to pull it out that way.

To the OP, if only the right tires are stuck, try applying just a little bit of brake as you drive out. A little tricky in a DP since the pedals are right next to each other but worth a try.

And exactly how often do people get stuck 'on road'?
Good Sam ERS has pulled me out twice in the last 2 1/2 years. Both times I was stuck in campgrounds when it started raining after I got there.
