I was wondering what folks use to level campers on uneven ground.  I've got a couple of old 2 by 6 boards, but they really only work in one and a half inch increments.  There must be a better way.

I’ve used Lynx Levelers for the past 20+ years.
Simple, durable and lightweight.

I use the Lynx also but these look interesting and are on my wish list:

I use 2x10s which are about 2 ft long, I beveled one edge and glued 1/4 ext plywood to top surface, to prevent splitting. I also carry a number of 2x4s. Therefore I can use just the 2x10 for an 1 1/2 rise, or place the 2x10 as a ramp on the 2x4, thereby having a 1 1/2" ramp up to 3", place two 2x4s and your ramp goes from 1 1/2" to 4 1/2". I think you get the idea. 

Without the plywood the ramps will eventual crack, they still crack with the plywood but don't fall apart.

I just use whats around where I am camping....don't mind a little uphill for pillows.

We sleep crossways one up and one down.

NOT recommended. The interlocking feature is nice, but the slots on the bottoms are thin enough that pea gravel sized rocks get stuck in them and then they don't interlock.

I use 2x6's , 2-20" long and 2-16" long. just stack them as needed with a 4" gap at the end to create steps. If I need more height a rock or chunk of firewood usually does the trick. I also have a couple of short 4x6s I use for my floor jack that could be used if there's nothing else around.

I try to use what's on site, rocks, firewood, branches etc. But also carry various lengths of 1" plywood cut 11" wide x 8,10,12 etc. I found that 2x s can split, at least the lumber I've used. And the ply makes a great jack base when off pavement and jack stand base at home on grass.

 

Always like to chock a wheel or two when using a tall leveler, I guess 'cause it's never really level    Some folks carry a bubble level for precision, adjust tire pressure etc.

In my experience, Lynx levelers last longer than Camco levelers.
