I have been using a piece of treated 4*6 about a foot long. Sometimes, even though I use x chocks and ground chocks I wander if it's enough "surface" space in case I had any movement.

What do you all use?

I made a pyramid out of pieces of treated 2x6. Top is short enough that it fits in the battery rack, then they get progressively bigger... Maybe 6 layers thick.. with 1/2 treated plywood sides...

All stuck together with nails and a lot of gorilla glue...

works great as I can use it standing up, or laying on it's side..

Will post some pictures..

Bryan

grabbed some pictures this week..

used on it's side if little clearance.

can also be used standing up.

lastly stored upside down, next to the battery when traveling.
