Yeah, levelling that van is all I have done so far with those bits of fiberglass grid. They are supposed to be bridging ladders, but since I started carrying them we haven't come across any ditches or washouts we need to use them on. I suppose it all depends on where you travel. For us, as we explore logging roads, there is no shortage of rocks or bits of wood to prop up the grid. I think in the pic on that blog post I have them elevated about 8" or so. Cheers Alistair

And that photo of Vanagon on top of leveling boards with extra rock underneath to handle the steep pitch is a GREAT idea; so simple. I've got some boards, but the thought never occurred to me to use a nearby rock if necessary for increased height.
