12V should be along shortly ,he has built some very nice ones . I too have built some from 2x6's ,and 2x4's stacked double , my son built the same only he went three high . They seemed to have held up well ,I have had mine for several years , I stained mine so they look pretty good .

Thanks for the compliment!

Built mine in 2016. I sanded them down and applied another three coats of oil based finish this Summer. They keep the rams shorter in extension causing the RV to be more stable.

Very nice 12V. I remember you posting these a few years ago, along with how you built them. I thought I had saved the post but I can't find it now. I am getting older and am lucky to be able to find my underwear some mornings!!! LOL

I did upgrade the four small ones with an internal pc of vertical 3/4 plywood side to side. The top was actually deforming, didn't think I needed the center support!

Of course you can't buy this product in CA, only water based. Three coats really does the job.

I just used some 12" glue lam scraps I had, cut to 12" lengths. I've got 8 of them. I paid for them for a deck rehab project, and wasn't about to let the cutoffs go to waste. :-) I also have a set of lego blocks as well as some scrap 2x4 in a crate. All but the lego blocks were free from rehab projects. Works for me. :-)
