x 2, exactly what we have also. The leading edges are cut on a 45° bevel and we have a slightly smaller piece on the off chance that a bit extra height is needed.

MaxTrax if you're carrying them. Not suggesting you'd buy them just for this though....

There's a big difference between kneeling down

Thanks guys I just grab some framing  of cuts from work, like the air bag idea but a bit much for my trailer

Also toyed with the idea of fitting a pair of Air shocks and individual air lines ..

Shovel to dig a hole, when on soft ground.  Let a tyre down, when on hard ground....

I bought one of those caravan levelling ramps from Aldi ($20) 4 years ago.
Used it once.

Also got a small stack of 200X200 25mm plywood (with a coat of decking oil) for chocks, stabilizer feet etc.

I carry some bits of 35x70 in the wood basket on the top of the tool box... Only any good if the non fold out side needs to be raised, due to the tent fall...

Otherwise, I dig a hole/let down the other side tyre

I always cut the rest of the tree up and leave it behind , when it dries out someone gets free pre cut fire wood .

Used to have a few off cuts of timber years ago, not worth the effort when you can use a plastic ramp instead.....they are lighter, don't get heavier when it rains, don't split when they dry out, no splinters and are just easy to use. Find someone else that wants one and go halves in a set, that's what we did.

Not sure I trust a flat piece of wood when on a back/front slope as well as crossways.  Those commercial ramps are also effective as chocks.  I always chock, and it nearly always settles into at least one chock when it lifts off the hitch.
