    Setting the camper on blocks made a noticeable difference in the "shake." A must if you plan to stay in your camper long term.

    Thank you so much. Been trying to tell my family that this would work for the past 3 years. Going to go measure about how high my trailer supports are from the ground and see how many approx. blocks I will need. They think I'm crazy to live in my camper in their backyard for the past 3 years.

      Fantastic! I think that is great! Many of our friends and family think we are a little crazy, too. We are working on almost two years and love it!

      @@mmlifeonpurpose I've been living in my RV for the past 3 years. In their back yard. I've tried to tell them I should block it up and underpin it and I want one of those roofs over top for shade. In full sun, in TX during this heat wave. On fixed income so saving to get the things I need. I'm 66 with knee and back problems so slow going. Did get them to hook me up to the septic with pvc. One of the best things I've gotten done.

      @@someoneelse6119 Yes, you've got it! You may not need as many. It just depends on the length of your RV. Ours is a 33ft travel trailer.

    What’s the purpose for the piece of wood on top of the blocks I’m trying to do these on my rv

    • @mmlifeonpurpose
      @mmlifeonpurpose  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The wood acts as a cushion between the steel frame and the blocks. This is necessary to avoid cracking the blocks due to normal vibration and minor movement. Thanks for watching!

    Very informative Video !!! ..... starting with the center blocks, how much weight are you taking off the tires and axles and are you working from the axles outward to the ends of the camper ?

    • @mmlifeonpurpose
      @mmlifeonpurpose  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, we started closest to the axles and worked outward. We raised the frame two to three inches. Thanks for watching!

    how long is your rv? how many columns did you use 4 or 6?

    • @mmlifeonpurpose

      Our RV is thirty-three feet long and we used 8 supports. Probably more than we needed, but the camper is very stable. Thanks for watching!
