There is one.
It seems likely that they can. For my 3500 camper, I use them. They may crack over time despite being cheap plastic, so be sure to keep an eye on them.
The Camco FasTen RV Leveling Blocks # CAM44515 do not come with an RV weight rating, so they will work with virtually any RV or motorhome.
It's pretty sure that if they can handle my 15,000-pound trailer, they can handle a wooden swing set as well.

My camping method of leveling the camper has always been to use 2x8 planks. Rather than walking around with those old fashioned leveling stones, I upgraded to these fancy ones. I was immediately blown away by They should be easier to use, as I expected. In this case, because the edge is square, when the wheel approached the block, the second layer block canted up to the wheel and then did not come back down in alignment with the first layer, causing it to crush Maybe a ramped edge design would have been more appropriate. As for the 2x8, I'm going back to it. Had we stuck to the adage, "if it isn't broken, don't fix it," we would have saved money and time.
Unlike the healthy one, the crashed one was on the low side, so it was more heavily loaded. On the other hand, the other one was at a higher altitude, so it was less heavy. Don't use these under levelers if you expect to use them as under levelers!.
In order to use these blocks, the tongue jack must be in position- A board must be placed underneath them at all times - Due to their size, they were difficult to get under the wheels, especially when leveling a car with one side higher than another. On gravel, they're not sturdy enough to be used in any capacity I returned 3 out of 4 sets (thanks to Amazon for making this easy for me) The tongue jack under the hood doesn't look like it will last for a long time.
As far as the purposes that I bought these for are concerned, they have proven very useful. For oil changes, I would like to lift the front of my SUV a bit to make it easier to get underneath it. Despite having just enough room as it is, that extra space will certainly make a difference It is just easier to maneuver with the extra 2". It is always a good idea to set the parking brake and use chocks. Jack stands should be used if the standard clearance of the vehicle would be at a crushing level and be aware of any steep slopes on An issue like this can have more significance than initially appears. You can also use them to wash the tires of your vehicle. In any other case, it is very difficult or next to impossible for you to reach the bottom edges of the tire Tire gel that is not easily accessible for cleaning, as well as wheels that were cleaned with that one glaring strip that couldn't be reached for cleaning, have all been seen over the years. I am confident that these will perform well on my 17' tandem cargo trailer's tires and tongue jack, as well as my 19' travel trailer, both dual axle, though leveling blocks made for tandem tires would be easier to use in lifting one side up The durability of these would also suffer a certain degree of distortion if they were kept under weight for an extended period. There has been discussion of people using wood to avoid tire contact with cement, but wood splinters and cracks, so this should never be done under a tongue jack if it is necessary to secure the trailer at a height sufficient for the hitch ball to cross underneath. In the past, I have read about these being crushed under a Class 'A' RV These relatively inexpensive units are expected to be able to stabilize a bus under high pressure. Similarly, others told similar stories, but they did not say what type of rig they tried to use these under or the degree of incline that they attempted to compensate for when describing the problems. A claim that "not to be used with levelers" is an astounding exaggeration without any It says that it can't be used with an RV that may have a bus size, on an incline and with slides extended. You can verify this if you examine the hydraulic pad in the photographs provided by this reviewer and their sweeping claim that it would not work with this, and therefore shouldn't be used with your pop up camper. Using common sense is a good idea. As big as Legos, these are built like this. Take a look at the images provided to get an idea of what kind of support these are intended to provide. "Heavy Duty" is a relative term used in marketing that means nothing without context. Customers also need to exercise a little due diligence and use some common sense, so Camco should be more specific.
There are jacks on the bottom of my trailer that fold down. I have an overland trailer and I use it mainly for leveling but sometimes I need an inch or two extra and these work well. They are plastic and look cheap, but they don't seem to break easily. In my case, this trailer can carry only about perhaps 800 pounds at its maximum weight. It is a simple overland trailer that is pulled behind my Subaru outback, they do the job as necessary. They are packaged together in a nice bag that comes with them. It is a bit irregular in some places, but it does work well with the pieces that make it smooth. If you needed more, I could see how it could be nice to click together more pieces. In terms of what I'm trying to do, they are perfect.
When I took my 20 foot RV out for the first time the blocks cracked beneath its weight. I guess heavy duty wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
As it turns out, I learned the truth. You can probably make do with some old wood planks that you have laying around the garage as an alternative to this inexpensive set of leveling blocks. I used these about 40 times and they haven't cracked or broken, but they are really scratched up on the bottom. They don't stack as well as Legos as they are getting harder to stack. A pack of 4 blocks contains only 4 pieces. There may be a need for The problem with stacking 2 blocks together and driving up them without them sliding out is that it is difficult to achieve 2 block height. In order for a double height to work, it is best to construct a pyramid by using two as the base and one as the top. That means you need six blocks if you have to do it both ways. That's why I guess I'm going to order another set.
As I have looked over the product, I have found it to be very solid and nice. I have yet to use it, but I am very confident it will meet all of my needs when I Cheers! It's better to have and not need than to need and not have.
