I learned this information here on the MOC and then from practical application. We carry 6 wood blocks that are approximately 1.5"X11"X12" cut from scrap. They come in handy when on soft sandy ground or multi-sloping lots. Recently leveled the coach and one rear ram was fully extended but did not touch the ground. A simple fix was to just retract a bit and place block under then do Auto Level with all 6 legs then supporting the coach. You never know when the perfect view will be on a sloping lot. The wood blocks in our case are 2 layers of 3/4" plywood screwed and glued together, and painted brown just for looks. The blocks seem to lessen the static friction issues. Also, the shortest amount the rams are extended the more stable the coach becomes.
