I currently have two plastic yellow ramps that I use for leveling my 31ft Class C. Recently one of them started to collapse and I was wondering if there was something better out there to replace these with??????

We use 2X10 pressure treated planks cut in various lengths with a 45 degree beveled end for placing under each tire as required for leveling. Works fine. fred

If you got the ones that Camping World sells , they are guaranteed for life. Take them back to the store for a free replacement.

Ditto but I took and made one plank about 3 ft long and nailed a 1 1/2 ft one on top to connect them together--usually only need 2 planks high at the most in a decent campground---that way it won't kick out or push out from under the tire----it dont take up much room since it is flat and fits in most compartments--carry some loose 2x8 bout 1 foot long and bevel cut for spares and in case it is a really unlevel campground---a whole lot cheaper then some plastic legos

I'm with Fred V.----although I fixed them as a double layer about 8-10" apart so that I could drive up on either one or two lvels, and I did add a hand strap to the square end of each unit to help grab and pull. I've yet to have a problem, and although they are heavier than plastic, I doubt that they'll break. Larry

I made up (5) sets of stepped 2x10 blocks that are glued and screwed together. The top piece is 11" long, the middle piece is 22" long, and the bottom piece is 33" long, and like Fred V., I beveled the leading edge of each at 45 degrees.
