I made this plywood ramp to replace one like I had used for my popup trailer and the several times I've camped in my Sportsmen. My old one was getting chiped up on the tip and was a bit narrow. I blunted the tips on the new one to hopefully last more than three years. I find it less time consuming tan other methods of leveling. I tap in a wheel chock once level and have never had it slip.

You have someone spot you when using that ramp?  Otherwise, how do you know how far to go up the ramp – lots of trial and error?

I use the Lynx levelers – the giant legos – and those are hard enough to use solo because I can roll right over it if I'm not careful.

I back up a little at a time setting the parking brake at each peek of the level. I havent backed off yet. A couple of times I wasn't high enough and had to shim up the ramp with extra peices of wood I bring along. This new ramp is slightly taller than the last. Once the site was a bit muddy and the ramp wanted to slide backward.
