Leveling question

Today, I helped someone out with their 5th wheel. They had it delivered last weekend, and the bricks under the front legs were had cracked in half. I hooked up to it so they could lift the legs and secure it better. The trailer was not level side to side. I told them when the land gets drier, I'll hook up again and pull the trailer up, they can put down another board on top of the one they're on now, and I'll back up onto those so the trailer will be level side to side.

I just spoke with them as they were riding by my site on their golf cart. They jacked up the trailer, and put concrete blocks under the frame to level it out. So, the back side trailer frame is sitting on these concrete blocks. They also have two slideouts on that side. Personally, I don't think this is a very good idea. What do y'all think about doing this?

Concrete blocks are not to be used for blocking any trailer or car use wood or the stabilizers. the stress load is not properly supported on the concrete blocks and they could collapse.I had a friend very seriously injured when he used these blocks undera car and they let go

Don is absolutely right - have them get those concrete blocks out ASAP!
