I was wondering if anybody has tried or is using Rubber pavers when they park on gravel under plastic levelors & under the stabilizers and or jack. I just ran across them on a trip to Lowe's and they look very similar to the pads that are RV specific but they seem to be very expensive compared these. www.lowes.com/search?searchTerm=rubber+paver Made from 100% recycled rubber, Reversible with 2 designs Long-lasting and durable Will not freeze or crack Easy to install  Grooves channel water Made from 100% recycled rubber Made in USA Color, dimension, weight and texture may slightly vary due to natural materials used during manufacturinget a lot more for your money. |

Might stop the small rocks getting into the regular legos, those blocks are normally 1" thick for leveling. I use a large stack under each leg, 6-10 each, the shorter the leg the less wobble walking inside.

What I have done is bought cutting boards at local large hardware store an cut them to fit the bottom of
my landing gear/stabilizer an bolted them to such ... They are about 2 inches thick an work very well,
never have to worry about stones an or RV parks were they require pads, they are already there ...
I have had two or three RV parks take pictures of mine an commented on such ...

I'll probably try it and see if they work. They may also be good to keep the blocks from slipping on pavement. |

They should work well for that, I can't say I have had slippage on cement with the blocks. I will be getting a few for my shop where ramps scoot ahead. |

If you live near a Tractor Supply store, check out the stall mats. Easily cut to any size you want with a utility knife and straight edge. I bought a 4'x6'x3/4" mat about 3 years ago and cut all I'll ever need. I use them mostly for leveling, cut 12" wide and different lengths you can stack them and they will stay in place to pull up on. They vary from store to store so it's best to see what's available near you. Probably available at most any farm supply store.

There is a Tractor Supply right upp the street. |

I have lots of FREE wood blocks that I salvaged from daughter's home reno as well as my patio reno. Several 4x10 beam scraps are the best, though. Painted up with handles on 2 sides. Did I mention that they were FREE? :-)

Just picked up a 4' by 6' by 3/4 inch Horse Stall Matt for under $50.00 at Tractor Supply. Much cheaper than buying the actual blocks and I cut cut varioius sizes for under my leveling blocks.

Using rubber mats under your levelers means that there's more give and flex so you'll have =less= stability than using solid blocks of any material. Just my $0.02...
