How to place leveling blocks under dual wheels

It takes 6 blocks per wheel, so I guess I have to get 18 blocks

NO!!!!

Camco makes the blocks for dual wheels, I have a set of these and a set of the singles for the front. Some of the campsites I go to are pretty rough.

What kind of rig do you have? I looked at these and they don't appear wide enough to handle both wheels on one side of the axle of a class a. Nor do they appear to be strong enough to handle the weight of a 38 ft class A (non tag).

Just for clarification, I have 6 wheels on my class A. 2 on each side of the drive rear axle and one on each side of the front axle.

I haven't found a single set of blocks that will work to lift both wheels on either side of the rear. I recently parked in a lot with about a four inch slope front to rear. Front needed to be raised on both sides to level. Side to side was ok. Didn't have blocks so used my front jacks which is not a good idea.

When you use these blocks don't you need to have MORE blocks to put under stabilizing jacks at the same height of any lift under the wheels (match height)?
I think I will have to make some out of wood.

Thanks
Jim

Sounds like your rig is a lot bigger than my 30' class c, I don't have levellers so the blocks have worked pretty well for me. I also carry a couple 2 x 10's as well to put under them on gravel sites, stones can get pressed into the plastic grid on the bottom of the plastic blocks.

Cool thanks for the clarification. Someday I will find something that works with these heavier rigs. May have to design myself and go into business

We carry three sets of the Lynx Leveler blocks, for a total of 30. These are enough to raise three wheels by four inches, with a reasonable ramp. I also use them under the jacks, as needed.

The blocks will support the full tread width of our coach's tires. For the rear duallies I make two stacks of the same size, one stack under each tire.

I started using the blocks when we had the Class C coach. After a while you get decent at estimating the number and placements required for the blocks.

Finally, we also have a pair of the matching Lynx chocks and four caps.

If your leveling blocks are 8-1/2 inches square you needTWO 8-1/2" square blocks, (or TWO stacks of 8-1/2" square blocks).... ONE under each of the 2 dual tires.
