Interested thread. I have laminated planks. Super thick plywood. I bought on a local auction. They are all 3.5 to 4.5 feet long. They are each heavy by themself. I stack them as high as I need to get my required height. I just stagger them to get the slope needed to climb on.

I often back on. I can do myself but much easier with the wife watching. The limiting factor of how high I can go is the current clearance of the coach. I seldom have issues with them sliding when driving on. Just the front end. The drive is never an issue. If I fastened the planks together they would be too heavy for me to move. By leaving loose I can also stack more or less dependent on need.

Dana, how about drilling a fwd and aft hole in consistent positions of the planks and having pairs of carriage bolts to fix sets of 2,3,4 etc? The round top would be no problem and the square shoulder would just be an alignment notch for the future.

Great minds think alike Tim. Just 2 lazy to git er done. The planks are inconsistent in length because that's what they were when I got them. I have them stored standing in multiple sheltered location. Seem to never grab the same ones. As I’ve gotten older I spend as little time underneath as possible.

Hope this finds you happy and healthy!

Here is a picture of what I see through the doghouse as I load 71 on ramps. I do remove the air clearer and look at the tire area.
