Hi

Does anyone use blocks under their self level system? If so can you suggest a good make.

I always thought it would be a great idea to get hydraulic levellers until our last trip. In several places people were using wooden blocks to get level, as above. In one extreme, in the aire in Burgos, we got level with our fiamma blocks at the front not even at the highest level. Then two different vans turned up with hydraulic levellers and each of them ended up with their rams down, four blocks of wood under the rams and their front wheels 10ins off the ground. All seemed a bit extreme, is that a usual occurrence?
I only remember Burgos as a flat level tarmac been there a few times.

I popped down to a sawmill local to where I was staying and asked if they had any hardwood offcuts I could have, they went and found some and just wanted a couple of quid for their charity box.

I’m was curious too as Burgos aire is down the bottom of the car park and pretty level, with some big trees to avoid!
